The Scottish Rally Championship 1990 – 1999 by John Fife.
The second book on the history of the Scottish Rally Championship has now been published and is on sale – in ideal time for Christmas presents!
It follows on from the previous 1980-1989 book and covers the decade 1990 to 1999. If the 1980s were a ‘golden’ period in Scottish rallying, the 1990s burnished that reputation during which time three world titles were won by two Scottish drivers and one Scottish co-driver.
All three rose to prominence during this decade and continued to compete in Scotland before international success took them further afield.
This book differs from the previous volume in three main respects following ‘complaints’ received after publication of the first book. These ‘complaints’ were all received from buyers of the first book who wanted longer reports, more stories and more pictures!
This book has therefore complied with those wishes/demands/threats! Each of the 80 plus individual rally reports from the 1990s decade is longer and more detailed, there are more stories and even more photographs – again, many of which have never before been published.
The popular ‘McRae’ section has again been included which also features many previously unpublished photographs. This has resulted in a bigger book with more pages – and all due to customer demand.
There were also requests for more ‘personality pages’ and three have been included in this latest book. They are all there on merit, but where would I stop? Everyone who competes in the national championship is a ‘personality’ in their own right!
Do you think more should be included in the next book – the 2000s – or should there be a separate book devoted to such meritorious individuals?
