Colin McRae's 10 greatest rallies ranked
Colin McRae remains the youngest World Rally champion, forever the first Briton to take the title 25 years ago this week. Autosport is joined by family and friends to rate the late Scot's top 10 performances from the early days through to his WRC pomp
To an entire generation of rally fans, Colin McRae was rallying. The flamboyant Scotsman, who became the first British driver to win the World Rally Championship title 25 years ago this weekend, burst onto the scene with a Talbot Sunbeam in the Scottish Rally Championship and quickly made a name for himself as a man in a hurry.
He signed his first professional contract with Prodrive in 1991 and rewarded David Richards' faith by winning two British Rally Championship titles - including a clean sweep of every round in 1992 - before moving up to the WRC full-time for 1993.
