Colin McRae

But yeah, watching the old Group A cars there, the big sideways, the popping and banging of the anti-lag was pretty damn cool.

I definitely remember watching Colin McRae there in that run of his three-peat.

I'm trying to remember whether it was the Impreza.

Ari Vardin was in the team the same year.

yeah no he he again one of the best people but also like sweetest person ever sometimes because i also remember like the first time i met him he wasn't that i had you have to earn you have to earn it with derrick you have to earn it with him right my first time ever meeting derrick um It was X Games, the first X Games.

So you've got, you know, Colin McRae's over running the No Fear car.

You know, your dad, Travis, I think Tanner was there as well.

And they were doing testing up in Gorman.

There's a lot of drivers who never learned to control it.

Yeah.

Like Colin McRae.

Yeah.

It's interesting what you say about the wheels, though, because in all my pictures and that, you can see they run different types of wheels at different races.

And often the two or three cars, even when Colin McRae raced, they would have different wheels.

And you sort of thought at the time, well, it's like, because Pro Drive haven't got money to get the same wheel.

But it clearly was they were trying to find... a setup issue or setup solution to it and they were trying trying that but time you'd never have known that was the issue but yeah interesting for my even my pictures you could see lots of different variations sometimes even the front wheels and the back wheels will not be the same

She mentioned earlier he's got a best friend, Morris, who's this pig chicken.

and just like most like Kaylee the fact he plays so well into the story we need him because he can understand Morris who's the only person who knows the way through the forest so we have him like guiding Kaylee's drive through the forest and it's like you're playing Colin McRae's Rally again on your Playstation the way he's giving directions it's like sharp left and straight ahead he might as well be giving rally instructions to her but we're going for a mystical forest while we're doing it so it it just how every character links into this film is just so well done compared to other films where the characters would just like drop in and it's like oh remember this guy remember this thing here everyone has a purpose they have a role to play they all sort of slot in or they got to discover what their role is, which I think is Katie's whole journey.

Because most like Shang-Chi, I mean, Shang-Chi knows he has the skills, but it's like knowing, can he step up to his father? And with Katie, it's about discovering that she can follow something through, she can pick up a skill and follow it through and prove herself.

Because even once we get into the village, they doubt her ability, and then it gets to the big final sequence.

...

New Zealand Rally where, uh, Colin McRae just whooped everybody in the, uh, oh, what is th- it's, like, one of the...

It's basically their own employer's stage, and I can't think of the name right now.

And I'm gonna be screaming at myself whenever I [laughs] listen to this p- episode later on.

RS2000.

And then also Colin McRae's Ford Focus RS.

That was when...

That Ford Rally Team was awesome 'cause they had Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz.

Like, Carlos Sainz was, was my boy back in the day 'cause he was in the, in the Castrol Celica.

Um-
