I ff past the guest bit, I have no idea who they are.
Absolutely loved the McRea section, one of my personal hero's.
The M8 was just OK but everything else was crap, disappointed they ended (what was largely an impressively improved season over previous years) with a knackered old ambulance and chain car racing....

motorsport is fantastic for teams pushing the rules. loved it when I learned of lancia doing this, think it was the grand tour that covered it Lancia's Genius Tactics

They're really scraping the "celeb" barrel! As in way past the bottom and into the dirt underneath 
Thank lord for ff...
Other than that another brilliant episode. Obviously the Colin bit, but also the emergency services race. That was hilarious

I really enjoyed tonight’s episode, the McRae bit was excellent.....would now be a good time to sell?
A friend sold his series McRae Impreza on the morning of Colins death, it jumped several grand in value within a few hours from memory.

Was surprised to see Dave Richards getting so emotional about Colin's death even after all this time.
Was impressive to see how well the big fire engine handled.

Watched this morning, goose bumps the whole way through the McRae bit. Brilliant that his family still own the car, and nice to have the people closest to him interviewed.
I dont follow any motorsport at all these days, but the rallying from back then was just epic. Used to love watching it with dad. So many memories!

And he is still super fast, he won the Dakar rally in January.
Should have been at least a 4 time WRC champion. He should have won in McRae's year, 1995, and he should have won in 1998 but the Toyota stopped within sight of the finish line in GB.

I still remember Tommi Makkinen's face when he took a call while being interviewed on TV to say Sainz was out and he was champion. 90s and early 00s WRC was the golden era for me.

The cars are too good these days. Should go back to H pattern gearboxes and less grippy tyres.
