From a family of true rally enthusiasts, despite being incredibly proud of his heritage he carved his own path, one that took him all the way to the World Championship. He even got to experience the fire-breathing Sierra Rally cars his legendary dad, Jimmy, tamed in the British Championship. Maybe you even remember the highlights on Wide World of Sports weekend coverage on Channel 9 back in the day!

Growing up in Scotland, Alister gained hands-on experience prepping his cars in the early years and those skills served him well when it came to testing and developing in later years and he goes through it all!

So, after several messages from our listeners, we have finally got him on. Hope you enjoy our own wannabe Scot, 'McRusty,' as he chats rally and more with Alister McRae.
