All this talk about Mr Best, but very little about this guy. Damn media bias; typical that the focus is on the guy with the more "bad-boy" life and death.

Richard Burns (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/motorsport/world_rally/4472642.stm): the first Englishman to win the WRC. Literally struck down whilst at his peak. Respect.

A quality rally driver, a sad and desperate shame.
Only 34 years old and on top of his game before he passed out in his car, brain tumours are a terrible way to go, because theres no way of avoiding them and no definate cure.

Never knew that he had passed away. All the media coverage has been on Best.

RIP

RIP Richard Burns - I didn't know he'd passed away either until just now. All that coverage on Best because he had the badboy lifestyle.
Great shame too - a British rally great along with McRae.

Brain tumours car never good. I'm very saddened by Richard Burn's death - he was a genuinely nice bloke as well as rally god. At least he got to spend his short professional life doing what he loved. My best wishes to his loved ones.

What?

Nobody tells me anything. ¬_¬

Its a real shame that such a talent, let alone a person, can be lost a such a young age.

You won't be forgotten Richard.
