What makes it so mental is in a sport where the drivers can be in a 4 wheel drift round a corner on the edge of a cliff with a 100ft drop at 90mph 3 - 4 times a day on some rallys. it turns out to be Illness and a helicopter cash that kills 2 of the best that have ever competed in the sport.

Have to say this is a very sad day, McRae was a legend in the rally world and will be sorely missed.

The little helicopter should maybe be looked at from a safety point of view, Steve Hislop superbike legend died not so long ago in a similar crash.
