A fine gentleman...
A few years ago I used to run a support race in the British Touring Car championship. I got hold of richards email address and asked if he fancied coming along for a day. He actually took the time out to reply and pass on his wishes. Great guy, and a rallying hero that will be missed. Brett

Another very sad day for the Rally world, such a talent who would have won more championships and fought hard against his illness and lost the battle at a young age 
I hope his sad loss isn't hidden by that of the football world !
RIP Richard and thank you for all the gravel/mud you have covered me in you were ace

Rest in peace Richard.
He was a great guy who would always take time out to speak to fans. He even took time out to post on scoobynet.

My thoughts are with his friends and family.

gutted
Not just becuase he was a talented sportsman.
It is truly sad that a young life in it's prime is snuffed out at 35.
I had hoped about the speculation regarding his recent condition had been exaggerated.
RIP.
