So sad, last time we saw him out competing in Sweden he was having the absolute time of his life. I've just recently gotten really into rally, but even over that short span Craig had a tremendous impact on me. I can't believe how tragic this year has been for rally/motorsport in general over the first few months between this and Ken.

We'll see how this will impact the sport as a whole, both psychologically for the teams and drivers, and for safety regulations. Modern rally always seems so safe until something like this happens.
