Wales Rally GB: McRae name to feature at this year's eventBritain’s most famous rallying family will be appearing at this year’s Wales Rally GB with Jimmy McRae set to compete in the popular Wales Rally GB National.
After a ten-year absence, McRae is returning to the fearsome Welsh forests, racing in a classic Vauxhall Firenza from the Seventies.
Perhaps best known as the father of global rally legend Colin McRae, the first British driver to win the FIA World Rally Championship and a three-time Rally GB winner, Jimmy’s competitive record is pretty impressive in his own merit.
The Scotsman, who turns 71 later this month, won the British Rally Championship title on no fewer than five occasions and twice finished third on the Rally GB.
The Wales Rally GB National, which shadows the international event, has several oversubscribed classes for historic rally cars and this year’s entry features numerous iconic crowd-pleasers from yesteryear including a Porsche 911, Lancia Stratos and MG Metro 6R4 as well as numerous tail-wagging Ford Escort MkIIs.
