7	Colin Steele [=McRae=], MBE (5 August 1968– 15 September 2007), was a [[UsefulNotes/{{Scotland}} Scottish]] [[UsefulNotes/{{Rallying}} rally]] driver who was perhaps best known for his performance under the Subaru World Rally Team and for being the face and producer of [[VideoGame/ColinMcRaeRally a video game series named after him]].

9	The son of five-time British Rally Champion Jimmy [=McRae=] and brother of rally driver Alister [=McRae=], Colin won the 1991 and 1992 British Rally Championship, and was the first Brit and the youngest to win the UsefulNotes/WorldRallyChampionship title, a record that he still holds. Colin later signed on to Ford in 1999 to pilot the newly-minted [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Focus_RS_WRC Ford Focus]] rally car, to which he won in nine events only to leave partly due to salary issues, and saw a brief stint with Citroën in 2003. After moonlighting in various motorsport disciplines, Colin reportedly planned a reunion with Subaru for the 2008 season; he died a year before due to a fatal helicopter accident which also claimed the life of his son and two family friends.
