Colin sadly died along with his 5 year old son and 2 friends in a tragic helicopter accident near his home in Lanarkshire on Saturday Sept 15th 2007.

Many fans wish to celebrate his life and achievements and remember him with tribute gestures; one such gesture is to display with pride a memorial sticker / decal.

Members of some well known car enthusiast forums such as ScoobyNet & SIDC worked to make memorial stickers and decals available, with the proceeds going to charity.

A larger example of this can be seen here, you can see the original forum thread here.

Another way of paying respect to this rallying legend was to sign a book of condolence, there was an online version at http://www.colinmcrae.com/

SWRT partner Prodrive had a physical book that you could go and sign at their Banbury HQ, and more info was made available on the Scoobynet thread here: Prodrive creates physical book of condolence for Colin McRae.

As a tribute to Colin, the Subaru community were desperate to show their affection for the Rallying legend! As such the McRae Gathering was conceived - and Prodrive agreed to open their facilities at Banbury and the private proving grounds at Warwick for the event, which would see an officially-lead convoy from Colin's home town in Lanark, Scotland, to Prodive HQ. There were in fact many club convoys from all over the UK! I travelled up with my sister's bloke and the Surrey Scoobies convoy...

Please take some time to look at the official Gathering's site:

Guinness World Record
1086 Subarus including mine set a World Record on the day for the largest car mosaic.

Well, it turns out that, after looking at our aerial image of “Colin McRae”, they (GWR) have now decided that it is not a “mosaic” in the true sense of the word, i.e. a picture, and have re-classified our attempt as “LARGEST CAR LOGO/IMAGE”. While this is disappointing, we are still World Record Holders - unfortunately not for the record we were awarded at Warwick on Aug 31st 2008. A revised certificate was issued.
