Default Richard Burns
It is with deep regret, that I must be the bearer of bad news.
I have heard this evening that Richard Burns has passed away.
My thoughts go out to his family & friends.

RIP Richard you will be sorely missed but never forgotten.

Awful news: An amazing driver and a true gentleman.

Rest in peace Richard, you'll be missed.

Still can't find any confirmation of this from anywhere that I'd personally respect as a news outlet.

A truly sad day if it does turn out to be correct.

Same here. 'til I see it from an official source I refuse to believe it. I hope to god that it's not true because he is (was) such a genuine nice guy. I met him at Rally gb a few years ago (maybe 3, he was in a silver 206 back then) and he was just the nicest guy and he shook my sisters hand which was a big deal for her because she was even tarting herself up incase she saw him She is a huge Burns fan and has got lots of pictures and items signed by him.
