Nicky Grist has said that he and Colin McRae are really looking forward to the X Games Rally event in the USA this week, which runs from August 2-6.

Unsurprisingly after a relatively lean season to date, they are both relishing the prospect of competing: "When you have got the opportunity to go out and perform it is great, because that is in your blood. But when you have actually got a proper competition and you can go out to win, because this is a serious event, then it just adds to it all," concluded Grist. "We have been in this sport for so many years now and you take in your stride really. Doing just the odd event now and then, it a nice way for us to wind things down."

To date this year, McRae and Grist have only done a few events, most noticeably the recent Donegal Rally and back in May, the Pirelli International Rally, where they competed in the Rallymasters series using McRae's own Mk II Ford Escort.
