He only won the chamionship in 95, he came 2nd in 97.

He did win the RAC/Rally of GB in 97 driving P9 WRC.

So do we pressume that P555 WRC HAs no connection with any of the Cars Colin Mcrea won the world Rally Championship with and that it possibly has no connection with Rallying at all.

P.S. Happy New Year

It definatly had no connection with Colins Championship win.

Colin won the championship in 1995. P reg wasn't out until August 1996 as so was used on the 97 championship cars.

The only car Colin drove in 1995 was L555 BAT.

AFAIK they didn't use 555 on the numberplates after 1995 just the plate number with WRC and later SRT.
