ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY // MCRAE MEMORIAL

One day after rally legend Colin McRae was killed in a helicopter accident near his home in Lanarkshire, an impromptu gathering of Subarus occurred in McRae’s hometown in Scotland. Next Saturday marks the one year anniversary of McRae’s death, and this year, those looking to mourn the rally legend (god), will have the opportunity to do so in a more organized fashion. Colin’s father, Jimmy McRae, will drive his sons famous 555 Impreza out of Lanark and head to the Prodrive factory in Banbury, in the South of England. Along the way, Mr.McRae will collect some 700 plus Subaru’s , forming a train of all-wheel drive recognition for his sons achievements, expected to stretch as far as ten miles in length. The following day, Sunday the 31st, an additional 600 Subbies will gather at the Prodrive test track in Warwickshire. Though entry is officially closed, additional information can be found here. Both the motorsports and rally community lost an important character one year ago, and what better a tribute than to do what Colin did best, drive a Subaru // 08.26.2008
