Default Epic Colin Mcrae WRC onboard footage

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwtvlxFIWUU

Got sent this by a mate earlier, an epic on-board vid of a fast welsh section of the 2001 WRC championship .... The car control is stunning, what a huge loss

"6 left big cut, 6 left into 6 right crest" until you have driven stages like these you really cannot begin to understand the talent this guy had (and the current and past drivers) that is quote is top gear cornering at up towards 125mph on gravel

i remember watching coverage of the rally gb when colin mcrea was in an impreza it might hav been the year he won the championship,they showed a split screen of him and another driver come into camera view at the same time then over the distance it just showed how seriously quick he was through just that little section,i think he was over 20 or 30 seconds quicker on just that one stage,true and amazing talent and would have loved to see how he would get on against some of the current top drivers in equal machines
