In May 2007, Colin McRae took part in the Manx Rally, competing on the fast Isle of Man tarmac in a Ford Escort Mark 2.

Without the pressures of the World Rally Championship events McRae had campaigned for so long, the 1995 World Champion was relaxed and cheerful throughout his time in the rally.

The outing was not only for enjoyment, it would also form part of a new DVD biography McRae was making with Duke.

What nobody knew at the time was that this would be one of McRae's final runs in a rally car. He lost his life in a helicopter crash just four months later, weeks after filming for his new DVD had been completed.

This wonderful photograph shows Colin McRae looking cheerful, relaxed and happy in his natural home - behind the wheel of a rally car. It is how we will all remember Britain's first World Rally Champion.
