Just thought I'd put up a reminder , nothing really to add that hasn't already been said

RIP mate

 

Damn shame
I was recently told by a former keeper my P1 'could' have been driven by RB between stages, it was registered to Prodrive as the first keeper and the rumors were it was his poule car.
Wish I could verify it, he was a great man.

 

I can't believe it has been 3 years. Seems like yesterday he was still hammering round through the woods.

 

3 years back we lost George Best as well. RIP fellas.

 

R.I.P

Good one always go young.........

 

 

time flies

 

jeez 3 years already

 

Same here.

RIP

Tony

Sorry Besties gone but I don't think Richard would have wasted one opportunity of life let alone two!!

IMHO IIRC

Tony

 

R.I.P from RB5 322

 

Just so we don't forget him, RIP Richard, You are sadly missed!!!!!!!
Cheers
Colin

 

R.I.P RB

 

because of Richard Burns im now driving a scooby

 

RIP Richard

 

Also today he won the world rally title (2001)

 

3 years!

Nothing to add, just that it was great seeing him through the stages in the Classic Impreza.

George Best, when I was a boy I caught the ball when it went out of play during an FA Cup match - he came and took it off me and winked - I was beside myself with excitement!

Stuff of legends.

 

3 years already.

RIP Richard.

 

RIP Richard.

 

RIP RB-still missed by many.

 

RIP Richard

7 years since he won the title, that is scary!

 

Agree - Great Username..

 

RIP Richard.

I followed Richard after seeing him in Dyfnant at 7 o'clock in the morning on the RAC rally in the early 1990s. It was his first RAC rally in a Gp A Pug 309 - the reward for winning that year's 205 challenge cup.

While Colin was always flamboyant in his driving style, Richard was far more calculated, and probably one of the first of the 'new breed' who would be suited to the WRC cars of the late 1990's - early 2000's. Besides, Colin always got the limelight, but I was sure that one day Richard would win the World Rally title! I'm sure he was capable of winning more, but we shall never know.....

Scary thing is, my younger brother was diagnosed with the same form of brain tumor earlier this year. Fortunately for us, medicine has moved on, and 8 months later, he appears to be clear. It's a shame Richard was not so fortunate.


K44LNX in Kershop - 1993 RAC

 

Indeed, a sorely missed WRC champion

Glad your brothers on the mend

 

Shame on me I was unaware.

That's why there was alot of activity at Prodrive toaday.

 

R.I.P. RB

 

Same here, RIP!
