Sadly I think that its true.
It was on the news like 6 hours ago and hasn't been confirmed in either way. If he was still alive that would have been confirmed already.

Fastest WRC driver of his time! ...Except for Tommi Makinen ( Said so himself )

Yes, he and his son.

Best driving simulator out there as well.

Known as bit of King of Crash.

Probably retired cause he couldn't hang with Gronholm and Loeb.

Was only 39.

RIP big guy.

I read on autospies.com that he and his three sons died near his house. Tragic, i started watching Rally racing because of him.

Didn't he drive for Subaru? I remember him from a decade ago, he was fantastic. I always thought his popularity with that car is what gave Subaru the impetus to sell a detuned version of it here in the States.

Yeah, probably a combo, but McRae's media attention and video games lead to a subaru in every neighbourhood in England. One per houseold in paki areas.
