Indeed.

Scary stuff, especially since he's 2 years younger than me.

Hope he recovers soon.

Poor guy

Ohhhhhhhh. Poor bugger. That's terrible! Hope he makes it out the far side...

[agent006]

Blimey, that's not good.

Any idea who's going to drive intsead of him? McRae possibly?

[SBD]

I'd heard McCrae would get the gig if Burns wasn't fit.
Poor sod but the docs expect full recovery.

[grahambell]

Grim news. Hope he makes full recovery and is back in WRC in 2004.

[joust]

Not good. Here is hoping the radio therapy does its job - but it's not the nicest of treatments.

I sincerly hope he is back in 2005.

Ouch. Poor bloke.

Hope he's back on full song ASAP.

McRae gets a drive after all?

[Graham]

Blimey hope it all ends well with burns back in the saddle..

A friend told me he was ill a few days ago does anyone know anything of the risks of the wireless comms we all wear when we race to talk to Team Directors whilst racing ?
