As an Aussie holidaying in Europe, Trevor Lansdown somehow found himself servicing for Subaru on the 1992 1000 Lakes Rally – an event that put Colin McRae’s name up in lights.
The young Scotsman rolled his Subaru before the rally even began, and then did it twice more in the rally. Lansdown was one of the men charged with fixing the battered Legacy as McRae did his best to destroy it.
A year later, the Victorian was assisting the team at Rally Australia when Possum Bourne crashed heavily on the first forest stage, a crash that claimed the life of co-driver Rodger Freeth.
In a revealing interview, Lansdown talks in depth about how both events changed how rally cars were built into the future.
