Members of the McRae family gathered at the Moulsdale Foundation Classic and Performance Car Museum in late December to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Colin McRae’s 1995 WRC title, the first by a British driver.
“It was an honour to welcome the McRae family and celebrate one of the most iconic families in motorsport history,” said David Moulsdale from the Moulsdale Foundation.
“Ever since my rallying debut 50 years ago, I still get great excitement from meeting fans and remembering our achievements. I’m grateful to the Moulsdale Foundation for giving us the opportunity to come together here in Glasgow.”
Alister’s son Max, who is continuing the McRae family’s rallying legacy, added:
“Being part of this event put on by the Moulsdale Foundation for three generations of my family is an honour. Rallying is in our blood, and continuing the McRae legacy is something I take seriously.
“Today’s celebration reminds me of how much motorsport and rallying in particular means to so many people, and shows how Colin’s influence still resonates. It motivates me to push forward in my own career and build on my successes.”
Richard Burns, whose life was cruelly cut short by cancer in 2005, is the only other British driver to have won the WRC title, in 2001.
