The next generation of the McRae dynasty will make his rallying debut this weekend, when 16-year old Max McRae hits the stages.
The son of Alister, Max will have 2016 and 2017 Australian Rally Championship co-driver Bill Hayes beside him, calling pace notes in their Ford Fiesta ST150.
They will contest the Truck Wholesale WA Bakers Hill Sprint, on property owned by former leading competitor Tolley Challis.
“I’m really excited and can’t wait for the rally,” Max McRae said, just after sitting for his Learner Driver’s Permit.
“But what I’m looking to gain is seat-time in the car and experience.
“There’ll always be pressure carrying the McRae name, but at the moment I’m just focussed on working as hard as I can to learn as much as I can.”
McRae, a first-year apprentice at a specialist service centre for European cars, said that his goal this year is to compete and finish all WA State Championship rallies.
