Colin McRae- "If in doubt, flat out"

 

Colin McRae was a Scottish rally driver who drove for Subaru and drove with Carlos Sainz Sr. (Carlos "Smooth Operator" "El Matador" Sainz Jr.'s dad) who was also his teammate and rival along with his other rival Tommi Mäkinen, who drove for Toyota.

McRae was the first Brit to win a rally after he won his home rally in Britain, after a long time. Although he had a British citizenship, he was actually Scottish.
And during the 1995 season, he became the world's youngest rally champion.

The impressive thing about him was that he kept driving in a rally even after many crashes and wrecks, earning him a spot in the world rally championship.
