World Champions to honour McRae

July 7, 2014

Some of rallying’s greats could take part in the McRae Stages Rally in Scotland on September 27 to honour the memory of Colin McRae, who died in a helicopter crash in 2007. The McRae family has long supported the rally of its home club, Coltness CC, and having stars in cars such as Ford Escort Mk2s would be a fitting tribute. Björn Waldegård and Stig Blomqvist have confirmed their interest to Colin’s father, Jimmy.

“We have been talking about it and I would like to do the rally,” said Blomqvist.
