Answer
Sure! It goes like this: Colin McRae clinched the World Rally Championship title in 1995, breaking the streak of Finnish dominance in the series. The WRC champion of the previous year (1994) was the evergreen Juha Kankkunen, while Tommi Mäkinen would reclaim the title for Finland the following year, in 1996.
