      One could make a lengthy video about everything that went wrong, but in short: -Driver error a couple of times; most notably when he was comfortably leading the 2001 RAC Rally, only to bin it and hand the title to Richard Burns. -Mechanical failures quite a lot; the early Subaru WRC was a bit fragile, same thing happened with the Ford Focus, I especially recall the sequential gearshift failed several times. -As the post-y2k cars got more technical, with trick differentials, better tyres and suspension and so on, Colin's balls-to-the-wall sideways driving style just wasn't as conducive to good results; a more conservative, almost circuit-racer technique was needed.

    Nicky’s description of timing the pace notes kinda reminds me of a good dance caller at a ceilidh, calling just before you need to change partners, swing, or hurtle down the row swinging everyone on the way! If the caller gets it wrong; mayhem!. David Niven describes such a mess, I think in his book, The moon’s a balloon.’ No flames, but carnage of sorts.

    There's more to this in that the Skoda team was up for sale & Schwartz who was trying to buy it didn't want the real potential of the car to be shown hence this clutch change to put it over time. The other suggestion is the car was underweight.

    Absolutely loved the Colin McRae rally game it was fantastic. I remember buying it for myself one christmas and actually waiting until christmas day to play it. Needless to say I didn't see the rest of the family for the majority of the day as they were all celebrating and eating Christmas dinner. It was always best with headphones one and turned up to get every one of the pace notes just right. The real tragedy of Colin and Nicky's career was when Richards messed with the WRC rules about limiting teams to hire experienced drivers and screwed innumerable other drivers careers.

      He taught all of us pacenotes. So many young rally drivers now understand left 1 is sharp and left 6 is fast, and that's because of him. So many other valid pacenotes languages have been relegated behind 1-6 including easy left- hard right or even 6-1 system.
