This is quite sudden...!

[-Fred-]

There's nothing about this anywhere, not on his website, nor on WRC.com...

 

[VIPFREAK]

[Tornado]

Apparent Proof
I hope this isn't true, and my heart goes out to his family if it is.

[Scaff]

Its just been on the Radio (Radio One) and details are also on the BBC news website

Richard Burns Dies

A great shame as he was a driver I have respected and followed throughout his career, hard to believe it was only two years ago that news of his illness was first made public (a year in which he still finished fourth in the WRC and lead for most of the year).

My thoughts are with his family.

It seems it is true.

Sporting Life

We knew he had a tough fight but it is sad to see him lose it. My condolences.

... are you sure? Where did you hear it?

This is quite sudden...!

It is true, the BBC is where I first saw it, there's too many sites putting it up to be false. Unfortunately, it's not sudden either, he was taken ill in 2003. I met him a few times when he was first starting out as he grew up near me, he was a nice guy. 👎

 

[Touring Mars]

I knew that he was seriously ill a while back, but this is a shock and very sad news...

RIP

 

[Jay]

[ExigeEvan]

Woh. That was a sudden one.

R.I.P Richard Burns.

 

[smuttneyspears]

[nitro_2005]

OMG! that is a shock.

R.I.P Richard Burns - you will be in our hearts forever

 

[911_Carrera]

I remember thinking just the other day that I hadn't heard how Richard was doing.

RIP.

A young talented driver. He will be missed.

 

[Famine]

This ought to be in the Rumble Strip, along with the Pat Morita and George Best threads, I think.

People may be unaware of this event due to poor media coverage.

 

[Jondot]

So many legendary people dying ...

What is it with this week?

 

[Small_Fryz]

Who other legendary people died?

Richard was a great rallier. You will be remembered 👍

 

[Impreza04]

Darn it.. I was looking forward to maybe seeing him compete in another event..
Shame

R.I.P Richard Burns

 

[jammyozzy]

Who other legendary people died?

George Best and Pat Morita

 

[Touring Mars]

It's going to be one hell of a night in Heaven...

 

[Young_Warrior]

Damn R.I.P.

This was quick and its not in the news.

 

[Famine]

Yes it is. It's mentioned every 15 minutes on Radio Five Live and every 30 minutes on Sky Sports News, Sky News, BBCNews24 and Grandstand.

 

[Encyclopedia]

It's a sad day indeed.

 

[Young_Warrior]

I stand corrected.

 

[F1GTR]

R.I.P

What a bad week .

 

[Dave A]

RIP Richard Burns.

Same day as George as well, I only heared earlier today.
