History
Jimmy McRae from Lanark, Scotland was a highly successful driver in the British Rally Championship, winning the title five times in 1981, 1982, 1984, 1987 and 1988.
In the European Rally Championship for drivers, he was runner-up in 1982, while his highest placing in the World Rally Championship was fifteenth in 1983. He is the father of World Rally Championship driver Alister McRae, and the late 1995 World Rally Champion Colin McRae.
Throughout his career, McRae drove for a number of different teams, reaching a pinnacle during his spell in the Rothmans Rally Team. During his time at Rothmans, his team mates were Ari Vatanen, Walter Röhrl and Henri Toivonen. McRae still occasionally competes on historic rallies and some Scottish Rally Championship events, with some occasional outings on the Wales Rally GB. In 2006 he won the Roger Albert Clark Rally in a Stobart Motorsport sponsored Mark 2 Ford Escort.
