Colin McRae, champion du monde des rallyes 1995, était le pilote de rallye le plus spectaculaire. Sa vitesse naturelle et son approche gagnante ou buste ont fait de lui le favori des fans de rallye dans le monde entier. Le mot McRae est devenu superflu à la fin, Colin était... juste Colin. Sur les scènes de rallye, les mots : « Colin's coming… » signifiait une chose : les spectateurs avaient l'air plus longs, plus durs et ont fait un pas en arrière prudent, juste au cas où. Colin a conduit pour une variété d'équipes de haut niveau, y compris Ford, Citroën, Ferrari, Nissan et Skoda. Cependant, cet Écossais volant est surtout connu pour ses exploits en Subarus bleu et jaune. Loin de la conduite, Colin a apporté le rallye à une jeune génération en tant que figure de proue d'un jeu informatique à succès portant son nom. Colin McRae avait deux dictons bien connus, l'un étant : « En cas de doute, à plat » et l'autre : « Nous sommes ici pour un bon moment, pas pour longtemps. » Malheureusement, ce dernier est devenu trop vrai, lorsque le 15 septembre 2007, l'Écossais de 39 ans a été tué instantanément dans un accident d'hélicoptère. Ce livre détaille le véritable Colin McRae, de ses humbles débuts à la renommée mondiale en passant par le succès du championnat du monde. Il explique son talent naturel, son style de conduite flamboyant et ses victoires épiques ainsi que ses rivalités, ses amitiés et ses accidents spectaculaires. Ce livre découvre tous les aspects du personnage de Colin, avec une collection d'histoires personnelles, racontées par la famille et les amis qui le connaissaient le mieux. Et il y a des histoires inédites, comme le moment où le prince William a demandé à rencontrer l'Écossais. Just Colin fournit un aperçu rare de la personnalité infectieuse de McRae. McKlein Photography, et en particulier un autre Colin [McMaster], a travaillé en étroite collaboration avec McRae tout au long de sa carrière de rallye. Le meilleur des archives photos de McKlein a été utilisé pour illustrer somptueusement toutes ces histoires fascinantes. Une grande partie de la photographie privée et des coulisses montrées dans ce livre n'a jamais été publiée auparavant.

Colin McRae, the 1995 World Rally Champion, was the most spectacular rally driver. His natural speed and win-or-bust approach made him the favourite of rally fans worldwide. The word McRae became superfluous in the end, Colin was... just Colin. On rally stages, the words: "Colin's coming..." meant one thing the spectators looked longer, harder and took a cautious step backwards, just in case. Colin drove for a variety of top teams including Ford, Citroën, Ferrari, Nissan and Skoda. However this flying-Scotsman is best remembered for his exploits in blue and yellow Subarus. Away from driving, Colin brought rallying to a younger generation as the figurehead of a successful computer game bearing his name. Colin McRae had two well known sayings, one being: "If in doubt, flat out" and the other: "We re here for a good time, not a long time." Sadly the latter became all too true, when on September 15, 2007 the 39-year-old Scot was killed instantly in a helicopter accident. This book details the real Colin McRae, from his humble beginnings to global fame through world championship success. It explains his natural talent, flamboyant driving style and epic wins as well as his rivalries, friendships and spectacular crashes. This book uncovers every aspect of Colin s character, with a collection of personal stories, told by family and friends who knew him best. And there are the previously untold stories, like the time Prince William asked to meet the Scot. Just Colin provides a rare insight into McRae s infectious personality. McKlein Photography, and in particular another Colin [McMaster], worked closely with McRae throughout his rally career. The best of McKlein s photo archive has been used to lavishly illustrate all these fascinating stories. Much of the private and behind-the-scenes photography shown in this book has never previously been published.
