Pace Notes
With a month between WRC events, David Evans had time to head to Scotland for the Colin McRae Forest Stages, a rally run in memory of the former world champion a year on from his death
A fitting tribute
That Colin McRae would have approved of the rally run in his memory, there can be no doubt. Right from the competition on offer last Saturday to the plentiful supply of Stella on the tables at the supper which followed a day's sport in the Perthshire woods.
All those connected with the Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally should take a bow. The efforts which went into getting five world champions to sign up to the event (even though Stig Blomqvist failed to make the starters' list after his co-driver was unable to make the trip) were immense. Having found the drivers, period-ish cars were also unearthed to give the Perth-based rally the genuine feel of a classic days-gone-by event.
