1991 Circuit of Ireland Rally

The Circuit of Ireland’s star was beginning to fade somewhat my the early ‘90s but it was still seen by many as the one to win and with no Irish driver having won the event since 1984, the local heroes were out in force to try and take the win. They had no answer however for a young Scot called Colin McRae, who in first full season with Subaru was finally beginning to deliver on the big stage. McRae would go on to win by almost 5 minutes and just 4 years later he would be crowned the youngest ever World Rally Champion.

Mad to think McRae would be World Champion 4 years later

Didn't the original broadcast have the Cat Stevens song " Father and Son " playing over the picture of Jimmy and Colin at the end.
We watched back this VHS recording years later after Colins death and it stood the hairs on my neck when that clip came on.
RIP Colin

This video only highlights how bad rallying became after group a, these cars were cars that really did look like something available in your local showroom and look at the crowds spectating
