I never knew him, but admired what he did for Subaru

And at 34 ....... he was too young

My thoughts are with those he leaves behind

RIP Richard. I was diagnosed with Non Hodgkinson's Lymphoma at the time when he was diagnosed with his tumour. It is such a cruel disease and always happens to wrong people. Thoughts go out to Burn's family.

This man rekindled my interest in rallying, he was headline news when he was a winner and certainly put the word 'Subaru' into every day use around the world.
When you pass kids on the street, you see them mouthing the name S U B A R U and giving you the thumbs up, this is all down to Richard being the British World Rally Champion and the recognisable face of Subaru.

R.I.P. Richard Burns

World Rally Champion....for ever.

Awful news
He fought his illness with courage and a great deal of dignity though.
