Very sad news... 🙁 Englands first and only World Rally Champion and on the 4th anniversary of his WDC too. 🙁

Truly sad.

One of the most entertaining characters to watch, and listen to, since I started really watching WRC in 1999. I loved his young attitude at the time, and how he tried new things to the point were it got him attention, and won many events.

Truely a loss that I will feel, and will relate to the level of loosing Mark Lovel and Roger Freeman. Two members of the Rally community that I have had the honor of meeting, and talking to.

🙁
 
Very sad; a young man with a lot of life ahead of him had it not been for that tumour.

In the light of the press saturation about George Best, I wonder how much coverage this will receive. I, for one, feel this death far more sad and wasteful.

Agreed.

I have devoted the top story of my homepage to this announcement, and linked to the page that iGav has proved us a link to. Many of use in the Minnesota USA Rally fan / worker community loved and respected Richard Burns style.

This is a sad day for me, even though I never met the man.
 
Thats a real shame, I used to watch him on some of the Welsh stages with my Brother-in-law, I'm always amazed at what a talented man in an overpowered car can achieve on a loose road surface...

RIP Richard Burns.

I couldn't agree more. Someone at the peak of their career and not someone who died long ago at the bottom of a bottle.

I sometimes wish he was still out there then perhaps loeb wouldn't be winning everything,

RIP Richard Burns
 
Just seen this on BBC. That is really sad. RIP Richard. Seems horrible to be saying RIP twice in two days.
