Richard Burns

<< < (4/4)

Eeyore:
It's been a sad year for rallying as two great British bastions of the sport have lost their lives; although both in different circumstances, it dimishes the sadness of neither.

Richard Burns always came across as a pragmatic and analytical in the car, but affable and kind out of it. I remember the in car footage as he clinched the World Championship. He grabed Robert Reids hand and just shouted 'Well done mate, you're the best in the world!'.

You are. Not 'I am' or 'We are' - his first thought at that most emotive of moments was for other people. I believe that this was how he lived his life.

The world might not give this man a minutes silence, but I certainly will.

cheers

He wasn't my favourite driver but you cannot question his undeniable talent and only English World Champion.
It's a tragic loss for one so young.He'll be long remembered.

Spare a thought for Marko Martin-he was in car when Burns passed out at wheel at the discovery of his illness and then Beefy-not the best of yrs for him either.
