Richard Burns

[bluesandtwos]

I dont often post in this area but I have just been given some sad news that Richard passed away tonight.

He was a great talent and he will be sadly missed.

[focusonme]

When did this happen? Can't find anything online.

[JonRB]

I have no reason to disbelieve you, but has this information been released to the press yet? It's just that I can't find any corroborating evidence at the moment.

[monkeyhanger]

Nothing on the news sites as yet...

Hope it's a mistake, but it's sad news indeed if it's correct.

Will he get a multi page Obit in every national daily and blanket TV news coverage?

I doubt it.

[JonRB]

This article of only 9 days ago was saying how well he was doing.

[bluesandtwos]

It was a couple of hours ago, as everyone knows he has been very ill but took a turn for the worst.

[agent006]

Bloody hell. I thought he was well on the mend. RIP, a great loss.

[caduceus]

What a tragedy
A terrible loss to the world of motorsport.

RIP RB

That's awful. Thought he was on the mend again. If it's true then RIP RB. What a terrible waste.

[ApexClipper]

Shit

If this is true, rest in peace Burnsie......

[monkeyhanger]

Reports are starting to appear on the Rally Forums, and i've just heard the news from someone infinitely better connected to the world of motorsport than i am.

One of a rare breed, a British world Champion.

R.I.P.

[_VTEC_]

Another loss to the rally world. RIP Mr. Burns.

[james p]
