Shout out to Richard Burns too. Also died far too young and was a hell of a driver. Even had a game too which was and still is rated very highly by racing enthusiasts

[@wononsense]

Colin really rolled himself into Finnish rallyfans hearts back then. He was really something else, and is truly missed.

[@VompoVompatti]

Kilin Colin and many Finnish drivers had some fantastic battles for victory over the years.

Yes. Commentator was on fire

[@johnwood346]

Had the honour of seeing Colin perform in Wales the year he won the World Championship rally He had 2 throttle settings on or off no middle ground his premature demise was so sad Rip colin

I played the Colin mcrae rally games on PlayStation back in the day and loved them both,he was a great ambassador not only for rally,but for Scotland as well. Love the vids guys keep them coming 👍🏻👍🏻❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@tomaszuzanik7486]

I grew up watching Colin McRae until today he is a great legend for me

[@Markoski1986]

Colin made the Subaru Impreza sales rocket up in the UK. So many drove to his house to pay tribute after his death 🙏🏻

[@volundrfrey896]

I honestly think that Colin is the main reason why Subaru is seen as this rally legend. Because they're really not. Citroen, ford, VW, pegueot, toyota are all far more successful. But there is still something about a subie that makes you think you can drive like Colin.

[@gavinwatson3896]

@@volundrfrey896I honestly believe all these manufacturers you’ve mentioned are the late great needed to push to it’s limits in his consistent prime which I sole heartily believe he would have reached in any car if nature had given him the time, such pure natural talent

My husband Mike was good friends with Jimmy, Colin’s dad, whilst he was at University of Stirling. He helped Alasdair, Colin’s brother, to learn to ride a bicycle. Mike used to rally in a Daf Marathon. Colin lived life to the full.

DIRT Rally 2.0 is probably one of the hardest racing games to play.. seriously realistic, takes loads of concentration & that’s just to even finish a race, never mind win it 😳

[@rexoid0800]

Thats not true. Its childs play compared to Richard Burns rally, which even to this day might be the best driving simulator.

[@ObradPopovic-cs8if]

You bro for me too its the best racing game ever,at least on play station

[@MikkoRantalainen]

@@rexoid0800 Richard Burns Rally is the game you want for real rally sim. DiRT Rally 2.0 is the closest modern variant that you can run on modern hardware without unofficial mods.

[@bhardnavares5903]

That's the thing about Rally Racing games like Dirt or Colin McRae Rally. You first gotta know how to even drive or control the car and finish the race before even learning how to actually win it. To this day, I've never won or got 1st place in standings in a Rally game (standard single rally mode) but man I will be ecstatic if I ever make it to the top 10.

[@Charlie3vans]

Many years ago i delivered a sofa to an office block. We put it in this big glass cube with just a huge tv and games console. I asked the 2 geeks that were, " whats the set up here?" They told me all they did all day was test games. The one they were due to test was the 1st colin mcrae wrc game. I didnt realise the significance but bought the game at some point later. It was EPIC at the time. Such a step up from ridge racer etc.

[@tridentuk6885]

Nicky Grist is Welsh. Colin McRea was Scottish. Donut running about giving people Irish and Australian accents lol. McRea is a British legend and always will be. His name lived with young folks at the time through a PS game and a fascination of a 555 Subaru WRX. RIP bro.

[@dirtbikerman1000]

I've loved rallying from being a kid In 1995 when I was 15 years old, my very first real life glimps of a world rally car was Colin mcrae jumping sideways across the clumber Park bridge on the R.A.C rally. Britain's WRC RAally stages. The noise of the subaru popping and cracking through clumber Park woods was unforgettable. Awesome

[@enigmatic5780]

Would that be clumber park,worksop?

Also known as “Crash McRae”, the man was a legend! The magnificent thing about rallying, is the drivers & co drivers, are all mates. Between stages, they chat. It’s not so much me versus them, but the car, the driver, and co driver versus the stage.

[@dryfesands1367]

"Jim Clark - The Quiet Champion" is seriously worth a react in the Scottish motorsport theme. It's here on KZbin. The story of arguably the greatest racing driver who ever lived (his % wins beat Hamilton, Senna, Schumacher etc.) and he won in pretty much every class he raced in. He even gave Nascar a go! Stateside he's most famous for his winning Indy. Would make a great reaction, I think you guys would love it.

[@rossco8222]

That man and that car. Special ❤

[@bannjaxx]

R.I.P. Colin - still gutted his life was cut short, but the joy and excitement he gave us will live on for ever. p.s. I'm Scottish and I LOVE haggis!❤ 🏁🏁🏁

[@huntinghistory]

Rally car champion Colin McRae has been blamed for causing the helicopter crash in which he died along with his five-year-old son and two family friends. Sheriff Stewart found that Mr McRae did not hold a valid flying licence or a valid "rating" for the Euro copter Squirrel helicopter he's pretty much hated in his home town, pity i use to watch him. I watched him race burns at Silverstone special stage amazing but killed 3 people and himself pissing about.

[@Daz555Daz]

He cut his own life short along with 3 others - including 2 children. A very sad end.

[@garethm3242]

Interesting that you'd choose Colin McCrae as a react topic. Fun fact: My dad (a rally driver from here in N Ireland, now semi-retired, 70 years old this year), once beat Colin McCrae in a stage, though Colin was only 17 and my dad was probably about 30 at the time :p He likes to bring it up occasionally still [Edit: My dad would've known Colin's rally driver father Jimmy better than Colin, purely because of the age difference - from the local UK circuit]

[@lordprefab5534]

Colin was my wife's cousin and Jimmy arrived at my father in laws funeral in a limited edition McCrae Impreza, I think only three were ever made.

[@garethm3242]

Oh wow! Damn that was such an amazing era for Subaru WRXs. My dad had a (much cheaper) Impreza as a Group A rally car in the early 2000s.

[@big-joe-momma]

Lots of people beat colin

[@bod3103]

My first ever job was selling event programmes at the 1992 (British) WRC at the Rother Valley stage. Needless to say it went horribly wrong as people thought I was the car park attendant and followed me around the open field and triple parked everyone boxing people in, but I got paid to be there so I didn't care.

[@andrewgrant6516]

Imagine how badass Fred Dibnah would have been as a rally driver.

[@JG-fv9bv]

Now that would be badass watching Dibnah drifting a 10 ton steam engine through the woods

[@fihndus]

I mean, Loeb is a legend in his own right as well. Still, McRae is an icon.

[@Zicetec2000]

Rally drivers are another level of crazy drivers, they need the 4wd just to pull those steel ball bearings let alone move the car.

Well done lads on the 100k subscriber's, I've been with you when there was 20k+ 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@Ylyrra]

McRae was always entertaining to watch, because you always knew he had the capacity to win, but also the capacity to lose, regardless of what anyone else in the rally did.

[@kelvingrebert7315]

congratz dudes. 100k bloody fantastic

[@simply_psi]

It is a crazy thing that when his life was taken all too early it was in a helicopter crash rather than in a car. RIP Colin your style and class will last for ever. Richard Burns who won in 2001 and was runner up in 1999 and 2000, Richard was as exciting as Colin and he was also taken way too early with a brain tumour aged 34 another sad loss.

[@jbliborio]

Congratulations, guys!!!!

[@CMDRRustyDog]

"reciprocity" - Very American word I think. Reciprocation sounds more appropriate. :) Kinda like 'normalcy' which I think should be 'normality'. McRae was a legend. Richard Burns also had a Rally game, considered one of the best ever. Another Rally legend to check out is Juha Kankkunen (pronounced 'Hoohah'). Congrats on the 100k guys.

[@andrewgrant6516]

Reciprocate is the verb. Reciprocation is an example of the verb in action. Reciprocity is a discussion of the qualities of the verb.

[@CMDRRustyDog]

@@andrewgrant6516 You'll never hear that word in the UK. Same for normalcy or healthful (instead of healthy). They're Americanisms.

Congrats lads!!

[@pluggedfinn-bj3hn]

20:29 This record was beaten by 5 years last year :P Kalle Rovanperä, the son of legendary Finnish driver Harri Rovanperä, won at 22yo. And now won another championship back to back. Also, remember some other video about McRay did mention the causes of some of the crashes. For example, he often cut corners even when the navigator had called "no cut", in essence, not trusting the pacenotes they had made together. Definitely an awesome driver and wish he was still with us to drive, but the wrecklessness could've been lessened a bit without sacrificing too much.

[@mhh7544]

Kilin kolin Mc Rae, we loved him for that 1992 1000 Lakes.

[@lmcgregoruk]

Sebastien Loeb Does have a rally game, also Richard Burns Rally was seen as the most "realistic" (at least for physics) rally game at the time it came out. Also there was a PC port of "Colin McRae Rally" which is NOT the original PC/PlayStation game from 1998(which is good), but a 2014 port of the mobile 2013 iOS game.(Which is not so good) Seems there hasn't been a Colin McRae/Dirt game in a while since EA bought the WRC licence.

[@rickybuhl3176]

A rallying Happy Gilmore. Always thought that Legacy should have been in a game or two by now. Busted up and smoking. Edit:: In Colin's defence, not that it's needed, but he wouldn't have known the Ford Focus was such a dog when he signed, wasn't until they got into the races, when he'd already rolled the dice.

[@jackiemorris66]

Have to tell you I now work for the very man who so narrowly lost out between him and Colin McCrae for sponsorship of rally sport. It was a very close run thing as both men were at the very top of their game at that time. It was an einey meeny miney mo. They were good friends as well as rivals. Shame somebody had to lose.

[@Andy_U]

Hiya. Sorry, I had to come out at 3 mins 10. I couldn't take that "presenter" any longer. Probably just me. Hope you enjoyed it, I'm sure it must have concentrated on Colin more at some point. Congrats on the 100k. Stay safe. All the best to you.

Played loads of Colin Mcrae Rally back in the day. Codemasters, who make the game, are about 20 miles from my house and one of the tracks in the game (Little Lawford) is just down the road from me.

[@Shoomer1988]

Spencer it depends which Dirt game you play. Most are pretty accessible, you can just pick them up and have good go but Dirt Rally (2015) and Dirt Rally 2.0 (2021) are the hardcore sims. It takes a lot of practice just to get around the track without crashing. It takes a lot of effort to get good but it's worth it when you do. The 2015 version is the better game.

[@davidbirchall832]

RIP Colin. F*cking Legend!

[@eoinmcauley2050]

Play dirt rally 2.0! Best rally sim game I’ve ever played and there’s even a game mode where you can play a version of Colin’s career, it’s called “Colin’s Journey”

[@SylviusTheMad]

Haggis is terrific. I eat it whenever I get the chance. However, it's technically illegal in the US. Haggis traditionally contains the heart, liver, and lungs of a sheep, and sheep lungs have been deemed unfit for human consumption by the FDA, so no one is allowed you sell you any (and you can't legally import it).

[@TheJama64]

I belive ”Maximum attack” comes from Markku Alen, another great finnish rally driver.

[@pjenning6841]

Colin mcrae 2 on the original playstation was a game changer,it was the first with good driving dynamics ,one of the best games ever on ps1 ,the 2 million was the amount of people who spectated over the whole event ,throughout Britain over 4days ,not in 1 place at 1 time

[@MikkoRantalainen]

If you want a modern racing sim, go with DiRT Rally 2 (note the word "Rally" in the name). It's a sim instead of more arcade-like DiRT series. If you want a proper rally sim, look for the original Richard Burns Rally. It's old but with unofficial mods, you can still run it.

[@elliottsw]

I entered my first rally by borrowing my Mum's car too. My Mum was none the wiser but my Dad saw the mud on the roof and figured it out pretty quickly!

I'm named Robert because I was born on Burns Night. I absolutely love haggis and have it for my birthday every year.

[@Pyllymysli]

The DiRT series in itself isn't really for HC sim guys but the DiRT Rally series does the trick. It's in my opinion the best modern rallying simulator. Some would argue that Richard Burns Rally holds better to this day. Dirt's actually my main sim as I do regularly take part in the online events.

[@Cobalt-Jester]

We (me and friends) played the first Colin Game a lot. There was not a lot of good driving games out at the time on the PSX. I think there was V-Rally was not terrible, Destruction Derby was fun but not realistic. TOCA, a touring car game was pretty good but you raced on tarmac. And Ridge Racer, which again on tarmac and more arcade racer. Colin's rally game stood head and shoulders above them all. Even when Gran Tourismo came out the rally events in that game were no where near as good as Collin's. Even when you'd completed Collin's game there were cheat codes you could enter that completely changed the game, like driving a car made of jello, and silly things like that, It just gave the game a little more fun. I think it did so well because even though it was quite a challenging game even a player not familiar with racing games could pick it up and play it. It was also a fun game to play with a group of friends. We'd all sit around the TV and winner stays on. The loser past the P1 pad to the left and the P2 pad to the right. and we'd race time trials to see who go the fastest.

[@philiprowney]

Colin's antics did not hurt the sales of the Focus. Very reliable. [ I have a 2.0 '02 Focus ]

Dirt is by far the best newer rally racing games in my opinion. Dirt 2.0 is the best one if you're interested! Not the newest but the most authentic and it has an amazing mode called historic rally where you can race the most iconic rally cars from previous eras.

[@RltchieI]

He didn’t tell the full story of that championship season. At the second last event in Spain Colin was told to hold station and not push because the team wanted to secure the constructors championship, Colin ignored the team order and pushed taking the lead of the rally, his team had people on the stage trying to slow him down and he just drove through them without stopping “he didn’t hit them”. At the end of one of a stage the team held his car so he got a time penalty and finished the rally second. It was at the Spanish rally that Toyota were caught cheating which effectively meant the team order wasn’t needed after all. Footage of this is on KZbin if I recall & is worth a watch to see that Colin was all about winning, win or lose it was to be on the stage not decided in an office. Edit: you can see the events of the Spanish rally in the video Racing Legends: Colin McRae about 24 mins & 30s into it. The whole video is well worth a watch.

[@allanrichardson4184]

If you have a steering wheel set up, you must play and love the colin mcrae game series, dirt is not as good as the original rally version, 2005 was the last one before it became dirt, i think. Great drivin mechanics and great fun. Been playing it since version 1. Awsomme game. Wrc10 is better now for pure rallying imo. Great video by the way. Rip colin

[@JB22.]

From a full on sim perspective dirt rally and dirt rally 2 are the most realistic of the series (the Colin McRae name was removed from the series after his death). Dirt 5 is the latest one but is a really bad and a commercial flop. The most fun game imo is dirt 3, it’s more arcade than the dirt rally games but is a lot of fun

Growing up in the 90s, my da and brother were big McCrae fans, myself was a big Tommi fan. But I don't think a single rally fan out there didn't love him, and the pair of them together with Sainz, Burns, Auriol were just another great example of a kind of unwritten rule of motor racing, for one driver to be great, they need to race against other great drivers: Fangio had the likes of Ascari, Moss, Farina. Clark had Graham Hill, Brabham, Gurney, Mclaren, Phil Hill, Bandini. Lauda had Hunt, and also Regazzoni, Fittipaldi, Andretti, then Rosberg, Prost, Senna, Mansell. Schumacher had Senna, Damon Hill, Jacques Villenueve, Hakkinen, Coulthard, Alonso, Kimi. Dale Earnhardt had Waltrip, Gordon, Bodine, Rusty. Colin and Burns are missed and not forgotten legends of motorsport.
