Malcolm Wilson opens up to Hollie McRae about life with her Dad at M-Sport

[@jaytoppo1670]

Holly, your dad is a legend, the Jim Clark of rallying... I'm sure you know the scale of how influential your father is still to this day, very sadly missed my millions upon millions, his dream and legacy lives on. Great watch, thank you.

[@jonwills286]

Interesting parallel to Jim! Totally agree

Richard Burns we share the same birthday, absolutely fantastic when it came to Wales, when Burns died I kind of fell out of love with rally, I travel to many countries to watch and be part of, when McRae died that was it for me, I've got a couple of signed race ready Subaru jackets, about 5 years ago a Down Syndrome boy about 11 was in the shop with a Subaru shirt on, come home with me I got something for you" what did you just say said him his mother", just follow me I got something for you, stay in the car if you like I will bring it to you,,, here you go mate, that smile and those tears, but one thing" don't ever wash it this signature will come off, now that was a good day....

Hollie really needs a job with WRC+ All Live Great interview.

[@ajrichar0]

I hope Malcolm writes his memoirs one day in two volumes: the first of his time as a very fast and successful driver, and the second as a very determined and successful team owner. Once Loeb suits up for the 2022 Monte Carlo, he'll have had all the modern greats drive for him (except Makinen and Burns) and is in a better position than anyone else to write about their respective strengths, weaknesses and character traits. What a double volume that would be.

[@tomlepski8306]

Can't agree more. That would be a verygood read.

Wonderful timing... Lovely Christmas present to Rally fans worldwide!!! Superb open honest & Heart felt interview...

What a lovely clip. Always get a bit misty eyed watching anything recounting Colin and his career. Very much a hero of mine.

[@1979phill]

in 2007 we lost a complete legend and one of our best loved and well known rally drivers of all time. Hollie lost her dad, brother and two family friends that are usually overlooked. Great to see Hollie spending time with Colins friend and boss, not to mention another legend. Malcolm Wilson. I grew up watching these every year on the RAC and British rallies along with Alister and British champion Jimmy. The whole family are rally icons and have petrol in theyre blood.

Brought a tear to my eye and some great memories come flooding back hearing Malcom talk to Hollie about her dad who I met a few times when I was a boy.

The legend is so strong today that people around the world, remembering it, continue to grieve about the loss. There are fond memories of Colin, the man who changed people and motorsport in general.

no thanks, Grist is a narcissist.

Sure Nicky and Derek could tell a story or two, remember hearing of a story from Nicky of a gap Colin was sure he could jump, they sent Jimmy out in the recce car to give it a go. A very twisted Escort Cossie appeared not long after. Colin cleared in in the rally just

One of my stand out memories was when Colin was up against Burnsie for the title on Rally GB back in 2001. I tried to avoid all news reports or anything that might mention the rally so that I could watch it all on the BBC coverage that evening. I had to go out to a shop of some kind (I can't remember what for) and when I walked in music was playing but within moments the song ended and I realized too late that it was a radio as a news report started with saying that McRae was out. I clearly remember shouting bollocks at the top of my voice and everyone looking at me!!
