There is a small article with Alister McRae on the Network Q site:

<b>Alister leaves Hyundai on a high</b>

Alister McRae gave his Hyundai team the ideal farewell by posting a fourth placed finish on the Network Q Rally GB.

McRae, despite losing his windscreen wipers on the first of Sunday's stages, completed the event more than 40 seconds clear of Skoda rival Armin Schwarz to score his highest finish of the season. The Scot moves to frontrunners Mitsubishi for 2002, but thanked his current team for helping him score three World Championship points in Wales.

"The guys have worked hard all year," said McRae, "and it's great to pay them back with a great result on home ground."

There's no rest for the younger McRae - he starts testing for his new team on Monday - but he did spare a thought for elder brother Colin, whose title chances disappeared on Friday morning when the Ford driver rolled his Focus on SS4, Rhondda.

"I haven't had a chance to talk to Colin, because I've been a bit busy," he quipped. "He was obviously pushing hard at the beginning, thinking he needed to win. But looking at things and how they worked out in the end, maybe he didn't need to win the rally."
