If you're not sure whom I'm talking about, McRae was the 1995 World Rally Champion with Subaru.
He also drove for Ford and Citröen and in the Le Mans and Paris-Dakar races, and helped develop the Colin McRae Rally video game.
He is survived by his wife and daughter. May the legend rest in peace.

The aircraft came down in Jerviswood, Lanarkshire, half a mile from the family's home and burst into flames just after 4pm.
Jean-Eric Freudiger, McRae's agent, said the 39-year-old driver had been piloting the helicopter himself. Also on board were believed to be his son Johnny, another adult - said by locals to be a school friend of McRae - and another child. McRae's wife Alison and their daughter Hollie, 9, were not on board, friends said...
