Uncovering Colin McRae's Škoda Disaster - What Really Happened?

I love this guy, such a legend 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 I could sit down for hours and just listen his histories

Always love listening to Nicky about his and Colin's days (RIP Champ) and agree it would not have mattered if Colin and Nicky did not win a championship. Both of their talent and skills would've cemented their names in rallying and beyond.

This man got me into WRC with Speed Channel, the 555 Subaru and also the WRC PS1 game. 25 years later I watched my first WRC race live and I met my wife at the event.

Huge fan of Nicky. Was lucky enough to meet him at Wales Rally GB in 2014, quite literally the voice of my childhood and such a nice guy. Proper meet your heroes moment.

I used to compete against Nicky in the 70’s when he was a keen member of Abergavenny Motor Club. He was always destined to be a world leader in the sport. Congratulations Nicky, a true ambassador of rallying.

Nicky Grist, Luis Moya, Arne Hertz, Hans Thorszelius, IIkka Kivimaki,Derek Ringer, Fabrizia Pons,Juha Piironen, Risto Manisenmaki,Sergio Cresto,Terry Harryman, Jim Porter, Paul White, Yvonne Mehta, Jean Todt, Christian Geisdorfer....a line up of the best navigators in WRC rallying. The unsung heroes who will never be forgotten and forever mentioned under the same breath of their more famous partners.

What a wonderful interview, enjoyed every second of it

Fascinating to listen to him, such a great guy. I was a massive fan of Colin’s and then naturally Nicky. 👍

Nicky, your trophy might be tiny, but your courage and dedication are not! 🥳🎉

Absolutely loved the Colin McRae rally game it was fantastic. I remember buying it for myself one christmas and actually waiting until christmas day to play it. Needless to say I didn't see the rest of the family for the majority of the day as they were all celebrating and eating Christmas dinner. It was always best with headphones one and turned up to get every one of the pace notes just right. The real tragedy of Colin and Nicky's career was when Richards messed with the WRC rules about limiting teams to hire experienced drivers and screwed innumerable other drivers careers.

I love Colin McRae he is the ultimate but he was only the ultimate because you were with him Nicky!!! You both had a symbiotic relationship 🥰 you belonged together!!

amazing conversation. thanks for sharing!

Stumbled across this interview and loved it. Like many, it was the 1998 PlayStation game that got me into rally, motorsports and cars in general. Nicky's voice brought me right back to those simple, happy days as a lad. RIP Colin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nick, you're a legend 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Great stuff! I remember following Skoda Motorsport back in the day, so this exact rally comes to mind quite often as you might expect. No disrespect to Armin who was essentially "Mr Skoda" at the time, but Colin clearly should have gotten the priority there

Brilliant interview, loved it!

What a great interview, I personally never heard Nicky before...now I need more of he´s stories...so well spoken, so gentleman and truthful to. I´m glad I got to see these video. Greetings from an argentinian fan.

I could listen to him all day , all the sto they can tell is mesmerising, good work 👍

Awesome interview, thanks for posting
