Lanark Gazette Article


Recommended Posts

Was looking at the Lanark Gazette today and found they have a little bit about the McRae Gathering on page 22. for those who cant get hold of one I will put what it said.

Up to 3000 Subaru owners are to pay a unique tribute to tragic Lanark rally ace Colin McRae.

A Group of Drivers will line up their cars on an English Track on Sunday August 31st, so the arrangement of the vehicles spells out the name Colin McRae. A Saltire flag will be laid during the ceremony, on the test track at the ProDrive facility in Warwick

Colin was a successfully drivers for the Subaru rally team before his tragic death in a helicopter crash last September at the age of 39.

A Subaru spokesman told the Gazette "This is a really fitting tribute to Colin and will be a fantastic event. It is great to have so many cars coming along"

"It's not only a tribute to Colin, but to the impact he had on the population."

The weekend tributes to rally legend McRae will begin on Saturday August 30th. when up to 200 Subaru owners set off from Lanark Market.

The drivers will unertake a 320 mile pilgrimage to Banbury in Oxfordshire, bass of Colin's former Subaru team, Prodrive.

From 10am on Sunday morning, these drivers will be joined by around 2800 other Subaru owners.

(would probs have been easier to scan it into computer......but never mind :lol: )

Cheers

Would there be enough white cars to make a Saltire out of cars on the runway? I'm sure there will be enough blue ones !?!

We have 390 cars conformed to attend on the day. Hopefully we can muster enough white ones from that lot.

Few cans of white spray paint from Halfords aint gonna go amiss
