When Colin McRae won the 1995 World Rally title

Taken from Motor Sport, October 2016, When Colin McRae won the 1995 World Rally title

In terms of Rally Great Britain’s special moments, it doesn’t get much more special than Colin McRae winning the 1995 world title, becoming the youngest-ever World Rally champion, (aged 27) and the first-ever British world rally champion.

As he drove his Subaru Impreza onto the finish ramp he was preceded by a bagpiper, who would go on to accompany him on many other rallies all around the world in the future, forming perhaps the most unusual item ever seen on any packing checklist (passport? Tick. Money? Tick. Bagpiper? Tick).
