Richard Burns RIP :(

It appears the 2001 World Champion (in a Subaru) has succumbed to the brain tumor that caused him to pull out of the 2003 Rally of Great Britain before his scheduled return to the Subaru World Rally Team.

Rest in Peace Burnsie.

Rest in peace, sir.

It's been a rough year for rally, and the Brits have lost more than their share :|

Here's to Beef and Burnsie, eh?

I tip my hat to that man and all the great accomplishments that he was able to grasp in his short 35 years. My condolences to his family and friends, may he be in a better place. Rest in piece and rally through the clouds.

RIP to another great driver. Quiet and low-key but I've always liked his driving style.

HOLY FREAKIN SH*T!! I didnt even know he was sick. I had heard he might be sick but i had no idea. I havent watched WRC since 04, ive been so busy, i cant believe he's gone...he was my favorite driver, that really sucks, God bless his family. Maybe some day we'll see him in heaven and he can take us all for a ride.
God bless your soul burnsie......
