'When in doubt, flat out' motto said by the late great Colin McRae contradicts what we usually hear when someone is in state of uncertainty.
In reality, if in doubt, you have to take some time to stop, to think over on the things that you're supposed to do and to inquire into the relevant resources and make a respective conclusion.
But Colin McRae's motto tells you to flat out, meaning to take the risk without any hesitation.
Giving up or coming in second was not on Colin’s menu as long as the chance existed of a victory he would be out chasing it, often realizing just how harsh and merciless rallying can be at times.
McRae gained an unrivaled amount of notoriety, partly because of his success, but also thanks to his flamboyant and ‘all or nothing driving’ style. Coining the motto, “If in doubt, flat out”, is something he absolutely lived by, either achieving great results or crashing out in a spectacular fashion.
