McRae returns to WRC

Colin McRae will return to the Wales Rally GB next month and be joined by his former co-driver Nicky Grist as part of the Skoda team.

The 37-year-old Scot – who in 1995 became Britain’s first world rally champion - quit the WRC at the end of 2003, and has since concentrated on endurance events such as the Paris-Dakar and also contested the Le Mans 24-hour race.
