A real British legend and saddly missed.

Seb loeb would not have it all his own way if Richard was alive today IMHO

Tony

BTW really pee'd off all the hoo haa about George Best, it overshadowed Richards death. Richard would have loved half the chances wonker Bestie wasted

Very very nice Chris I've just saved that. It might be a year now since Richard died but there's still a massive following worldwide of Richard Burns rally which in my opinion is the best rally simulator ever. I play the game several times a week on my pc with my gt4 wheel and it's totally amazing.

RIP Richard. I miss you loads.

I forgot to mention that I met him 4 years ago in Cardiff for the start of the rally and he was such a nice guy. He had loads of time for his fans and he was signing autographs for anyone that was interested. What a waste It's always the best ones
