#COLIN MCRAE RALLY 04 ALL CARS MANUAL#
We stopped and the team said ‘the only option you’ve got is to connect the other throttle cable, the manual throttle cable’. “We carried on, it did reboot itself and did get going but then on the drop down to the finish the thing went again.

But of course that was it, the rally was finished then. “ up on the inside of us and away he went. Grist interrupts himself to impersonate the noise of Mäkinen’s Lancer. “ got on the radio and ‘you’ve got to switch the power off and reboot it’ and we started to reboot it and next minute here comes Tommi.” We were literally right in the middle of the hairpin facing up the way we had to go because we’d just spun to a halt. Colin said ‘I’ve got no throttle, I’ve got no throttle’ and he was just ticking over there. “I remember everything was fine with no issues and then we just came into this hairpin right, and spun. We had issues with Subaru on that side of the mountain for a couple of years and then lo and behold for this to happen. “I can remember the situation now, we were literally only a couple of kilometers from the top of Turini coming up from the Sospel side and always that mountain it’s never treated us well. “Leading Monte Carlo with just a few stages to go, we were fairly confident that we were up for it,” says Grist. But it all went wrong on the side of Col de Turini “which always haunted us”. After a steady start, McRae and Grist had climbed up to first place, battling Mäkinen and his Risto Mannisenmäki for the lead after the second day. It all started on the famous Monte Carlo Rally. So how did it all go wrong? And indeed, where did it go wrong? It may be tempting to assume that the massive Rally GB smash was the moment the title was truly lost – and perhaps it was – but there were several other factors that pegged McRae and Grist back. “Other than those three victories back to back right in the middle part of the season the rest of it wasn’t great for us at all.” “Disappointing I suppose is probably what you’d say about it all,” adds Grist. That was a difficult end to a long season.” He’d had some great wins where he won three on the trot and he’d got the car into a strong position to be really competitive. “He was just absolutely on top of his game,” remembers then-Ford team principal and current M-Sport managing director Malcolm Wilson. I don’t think anybody was having it their own way, everybody was dogged with issues or another.”īut having led the championship by two points heading into a winner-takes-all finale with Richard Burns and Tommi Mäkinen – with Carlos Sainz also in contention – McRae’s spectacular exit from the contest on stage four in his Ford Focus RS WRC 01 perhaps goes down as one of the biggest ‘what if’s of his WRC career. As Grist acknowledges: “The 2001 season was a very low scoring season, the winner had 33% less points than the previous season. The 2001 season was a bizarre affair where nobody really had a clean season. Nicky Grist is of course recounting the terrifying Rally GB accident that ended his and Colin McRae’s World Rally Championship hopes for 2001 in an instant.
