If you read it 2 years ago it might have a different ending now.

Just checked...  my copy has a 2001 date (first published) but no reprint date. The book however continues to mid 2002.  
 i also have the Richard Burns biography... which ended in 2000 (shame it didnt span one more year.....  2001 champion)

Finished the book, good read, though I think much of it was told in the Mcrae the legend DVD. Also, tragedy aside, the ending is somewhat hasty, even before the helicoptor event.

7/10.

Would of maybe liked a few more tales of what wasnt reported generally. stuff like the rub down after the Asia rallies by the three thai lasses, etc.
