Why the WRC can't forget its past

Was last Sunday night all the rallying we're going to get on our screens this season? Was the BBC's offering of Top Gear and Sir Chris Hoy's 'Racing Legends' documentary all we can expect? Let's hope not.

But, if it is, what a night it was. We had Kris Meeke tackling Rally GB (or at least the Hafren stage) in a Bentley Continental Sport GB. And we had Olympic hero Hoy telling the story of Colin McRae and revisiting the scenes of Colin's greatest triumphs alongside the 1995 World Rally champion's father Jimmy.
