Tiff Needell testing Colin McRaes 97 Impreza WRC car?

[Slippydiff]

Does anyone remember Tiff Needell testing Colin McRaes '97 Impreza WRC car prior to the start of the Catalunya round of the '97 WRC for Top Gear ?

It was featured in a Top Gear magazine article the following month IIRC.

Does anyone have a link to a video of the TV program ?

Thanks in advance, Slippy.

3rd or 4th car he tests. Not sure if it's exactly what you want but it's Top Gear and it's Macraes car he's testing.

Apart from the fact they introduce it as Gregoir De Maevius's car........

Thanks Civic Man but I was hoping for the report Tiff did on the actual test roads used prior to the rally itself
Anyone else got an idea where I might find this footage ?

Thanks for sharing that. Not seen before and much enjoyed.

Looking back now, that period of the WRC '97-2002 was probably the most competitive, and interesting of the WRCar (1997-2021) era.
