Jimmy McRae (b.
October 28 1943,
Lanark) is a
Scottish rally driver. He is the father of
World Rally Championship drivers
Alister McRae, and the late
1995 World Rally Champion Colin McRae. Aside from his rallying career, McRae has maintained and run a very busy
plumbing business in his home town.
McRae was highly successful 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.
Throughout his career, McRae drove for a number of different teams, reaching a pinnacle during his spell in the
Rothmans Rally Team, driving an
Opel Manta 400. During his time at
Rothmans, his team mates were
Ari Vatanen,
Walter Röhrl and
Henri Toivonen. He then progressed to the venerable
MG Metro 6R4.
Though mostly retired from motorsport now, 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.
