Product Description
Book Description
The updated paperback of the best selling life story of World Rally Champion Colin McRae
Product Description
Colin McRae is a legendary name in rally driving. He was born in 1968, the son of Rally King Jimmy McRae. This is the full, personal story of the sport's greatest talent, and highest paid driver (-3million a year). It has been a dramatic and dangerous climb to the pinnacle of success and his fearless driving style and fierce determination have turned him into a hero of the sport. And it was this charisma, and his inimitable driving style, that led Playstation to call their bestselling driving game Colin McRae Rally. This is a gripping and passionate life story that takes us from his close family upbringing, through his early success with Subaru, through to his wins with Ford, the much hyped competition with Richard Burns and his current incredible lifestyle. It's all in here - the skill, the speed, the danger, the friendships, the rivalries and the adrenalin - The Real McRae: The Autobiography.

Colin McRae is still the best rally driver of the current generation and this book gives some inside into why. The format of having additional input from his family and colleagues helps to provide a different perspective to the usual biography and the external insights are particularly illuminating after his massive accident in Corsica in 2000.
The only complaint is that the book ends before the World Championship final rounds. As it was such a nail biting event until Stage 4 of the RAC, the final round, Colin's insight on that is sorely missing.
If you want to know why he is the best read this book.

As this type of motor sport is hardley televised on the BBC Sport programes,or any other TV channels, this book is a real eye opener as to what its like being the best british rally driver. Right from the start when he realised that all he was interested in was rallying to the ups and downs as discribed through the years to get to where he is today are well detailed and explained, and for most of the read quite humerous. Untill you read this book you will never realise and appreciate how much hard work Colin Mcrae has given, and the risks he has taken to get Britain up there with the best. A must for all die hard rally fans who support him, and feel they want to get to know him better.

Extremely disappointing
This book is more like a quickly scribbled diary than an in-depth look at a hugely popular sport and driver. Read more

Uninspiring
Despite its title this book gives the reader a poor insight into one of the world's greatest rally drivers. Its more of a diary that an autobiography and leaves you wanting more. Read more
