Colin McRae at play in his Ford Escort at Kames motorsport complex Ayrshire.26 Nov 06 in his Mrk2 Ford Escort,Also present is Alistair McRae.Maybe last time Colin drove Kames circuit where he started his amazing career 20 years earlier.
This is the real McCrae, doing what he loved best ,out for a blast away from all the fuss of tv cameras.Just a real car enthusiast,who always stayed the local boy and never forgot his roots. R.I.P Colin and say hi to Burnsie
Colin at his best and at home in what is and always will be the best rally car ever!! a mk2 escort, and fitted with one of roys diamonds. Thanks for posting this as i missed that day, my son had a run in the car with colins dad driving round Kames, Made a young kid very very happy!! Can you post the link to the music track as i can't find it Thanks John
I watched some footage of him driving. Clark was quite good, but still Vatanen is 81 world champion in mk2. Vatanen is youngest ever champion in escort and all the great drivers of his time say that Ari could drive escort like no one else. Colin McRae learned his style when they were both on subaru team and Colin was always asking Ari about his driving and settings. I was spectating in colins firts rally finland and he drove to our hearts in very badly crashed subaru.
Ford Escort Mk2, with 310bhp from its 2.5 Millington engine and weights only 900kgs all put through a six speed sequential gearbox with paddle shift. R.I.P Colin
Sadly because the truly talented one was flying like an idiot without his license and couldnt regain control of a helicopter with no rotors. Im a huge fan of Colin but there was no excuse for what he has been found to have been doing.
