Colin McRae - <I>Pedal to the Metal.</I>

The fastest rally driver in the world, Colin McRae invites you to come on a ride through the stages of his amazing career in a breathtaking new DVD/VHS Colin McRae: Pedal To The Metal - his official and exclusive video biography.

Colin McRae reached great heights at an early age, becoming the youngest World Rally Champion in history, but in the beginning things were not so easy.

Discover his views on the first years, the first wins, the first crashes - and why he earned the nickname Colin 'McCrash'!

You can also witness the highs and the lows of Colin's career, such as his signing for Ford which made him the highest paid rally driver in the world and how he was almost denied the glory of the World Championship at just 27.

Respected throughout the world and venerated in Scotland, the country of his birth, Colin McRae has reached this platform with many a tale to tell - a story he now wants to share illustrated with stunning footage, insightful interviews and racing drama!

McRae has come many miles from his highland beginnings to world-renowned World Rally Champion with a lifestyle to match. Taking you on his life's tour, Colin shows us the places where he learnt to drive and his home town. He even admits that motorbikes were his first love, not cars, which has culminated in the production of his own newly built Superbike!

Colin talks openly to Penny Mallory, presenter of Channel 4's Driven, about his love of rallying. Mallory takes an in-depth look at his driving techniques, analysing exactly how he is able to drive so fast, jump and perform his infamous Powerslides, as well as learning how he does the Scandinavian flick!

Pushing life to the very limit, Colin McRae has lived through races that nearly cost him his life, including the Corsica Rally in 2000. As a man who has beaten the best and survived the worst, Pedal To The Metal examines what his ambitions are for the future, who is a threat to his success and which events he enjoys the most.
