One of the most highly regarded motorsport engineers of his generation, Ray Sherratt’s full-time rally career spanned four decades and took in innumerate cars, teams and drivers. Indeed, his CV reads like a veritable ‘who’s who’ of Golden Age rally talent, with individuals such as Roger Clark, Ari Vatanen, Didier Auriol and both Jimmy and Colin McRae all featuring heavily (as does a certain black and white, wide-arched Mk2 Escort).

This is part one of our chat with Ray, pop back next week for part 2!
