EXTENDED: Chris Harris vs Colin McRae's WRC Subaru Impreza | Top Gear
Going sideways takes many forms. There’s the artist – Colin McRae – World Rally Champion who somehow won myriad rallies without wipers on his side windows. And then there’s your mate’s Corsa with milk-crates under the rear wheels. Comparing the two is like taste-testing your Nan’s lasagne against a plate of cold toad. Impossible.
And that’s why, in Series 28, Chris Harris presented a piece all about Colin’s journey to becoming WRC champion, and not a film about your mate Reg’s VXR. Here’s Harris getting behind the wheel of the very car that took McRae to the podium.

It wasn't just Colin McRae, it was Possum Bourne too. Possum didn't have a game named after him but he was just as important to subaru and subaru wrx sales as Colin was.

It's about juuust a bit further down that point in time when cars reached their peak and everything has been going downhill ever since from a driver's skill and experience point of view. Late 90s and early 2000s had the perfect balance between analogue and digital. There were no sport and eco modes, no launch controls, no different ride settings. Just a big, nice engine coupled with a gorgeous manual gearbox and hydraulic steering. And after 2005 they all started adding electronic handbrakes, cos i guess the stick was too complicated for many people to operate, all sorts of automatic transmission, electronic steering and many completely pointless gadgets, just to justify the price. I really miss those times and cars. And i completely understand the reason why they now cost more than when the first time they appeared.

RIP Colin

Always saddened to remember that we now live in a world without Colin McRae

Those were the times…I followed WRC more than F1, or any other sport in the world. Juha Kankkennen, Tomi Makkienen, Carlos Sainz…and my favourite Colin McRae.
