About this episode
Special Stage 2 is about to start! We have another fantastic chat with Scottish rally sensation Alister McRae, including details around his drives in a wild ex-Possum Bourne WRX.
Alister will always love his Scottish roots, but he actually calls Australia home these days and there's another generation of McRae in rallying, with Alister's son, Max, climbing his way toward the WRC. Alister shares how he supports Max’s ambitions while allowing him to navigate his own path.
We also uncover Alister's hidden love of two-wheelers and gain insights into his work with Hyundai when the Korean manufacturer first set out to conquer the World Championship during a golden period for the sport.
We respectfully avoid delving deeply into the passing of his superstar brother, Colin, but a nice memory or two pops up in conversation.
Thanks to all of you who messaged asking to get Alister on the pod. Good shout!
