Ken Block remembers Colin McRae | Top Gear
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In the latest series of Top Gear we took a look back at WRC legend Colin McRae and his journey to becoming the World Rally Champion. If you haven't seen the film yet, go and check it out on iPlayer: bbc.in/3dqiR1r
And here's some bonus footage of Ken Block reminiscing about Colin, including his first memories of Colin's driving in the WRC, and a ludicrous roll McRae recovered from at the X Games.

Pretty hard watching this in 2023... RIP to both of these legends. Such a huge inspiration for this generation of the car scene. Would've never wanted 2022 to end if I knew this was coming.
This genuinely breaks my heart watching one of my hero’s talking about another of my hero’s knowing both of them are now gone 😢😢😢
And now we will look back on Block with the same admiration. Rest in peace man.
Now, you'll enjoy good time with Colin McRae in Racing Heaven Race In Peace, Ken...

Now they'll both be racing together Rest in power Ken
Ken Block’s legacy is never gone. Dude was one hell of a drifter. May he drift in heaven
This is crazy. I’ve always love Collin, especially when he flipped his car and placed second. But now Ken too? Man the guys I grew up with on the tv/ video games. Rest In Peace you two, you were too gnarly for the puny human body
I'm gutted Ken has gone 😢, such a humble guy, with amazing talent.
R.I.P Colin McRae, and now, R.I.P Ken Block. The rally legends
Always liked how humble and sincere he carried himself. He felt the same emotions we feel for him now living his passing. We are better for him. We are less without him but he gave us the motivation to dare to be great and enjoy life. Rip KB Cali love

I remember delivering rally car parts to Colins house in Lanark when I worked for UPS and he and all of his family were always very nice to me. I was devastated when the accident happened as well . One of my heroes and he will never be forgotten. "If in doubt, FLAT OUT!" RIP A True Hero

Its incredible. Anywhere you go on the internet today, somebody is paying their condolences to Kens family and a tribute to him. I dont think anyone have had such a big impact on the modern automotive community, and its really showing now. Everyone have got a Ken story. Lets celebrate this man, and never forget.

As a fan of both Block, McRae and a Utah native like Block this video is amazing. McRae is what got me into Rallying, but Block strengthened that bond. May McRae rest in piece
I hope McRae and Block race each other there.

With what Ken has done for X games and being an inspiration to another generation of mototorsports guys and gals, I think he deserves a remembrance video too. RIP Ken and Colin, Both Legends that were taken too soon. Hopefully they are ripping rally together upstairs.

He’s inspired so many himself so sad ken was a great man
May you guys could race in heaven now. RIP Ken, we love u
I watched Colin McRae putting the Subaru impreza 555 to its limits around 1995.. I was fascinated by him .. Years later after owning 4 scoobys 2xsti 1xRA 1x mcrae edition all down to this Legend.. Now got an 8 seater SUV..
Now they gonna ride in afterlife:)
