Despre viata lui

Niciodata n-am stiut de ce s-a retras din WRC... It's all so clear to me now

Ce sa zic... sunt socat
Dumnezeu sa-l odihneasca!

Odihneasca-se in pace! Cel putin nu a murit pe proba speciala..........

Ar fi preferat sa moara pe proba, crede-ma...

Dumnezeu sa-l odihneasca!
Oricum a fost un pilot foarte bun si a strans multe victorii si chiar sa facut si un joc cu numele lui pentru PS2 sau PC.

fara cuvinte.......

Din pacate toti avem un tribut de platit odata si odata...
... intotdeauna e trist cand cineva se stinge timpuriu si e cu atat mai trist cu cat cunosti persoana in cauza, stii ce a facut, stii cine a fost...
Pacat de Richard si pacat de familia lui.

Dumnezeu sa-l odihneasca!

Asa a fost sa fie. Cred ca Mr. Burns si familia sa nu v-ar fi dorit atat de tristi.

Mai tristi puteti sa fiti pentru Michael Park.

Am ramas socat!!!!!!!! De vreo doi ani n-am mai urmarit WRC si nu mai eram in tema cu ce se intampla...nu-mi vine sa cred...

La un timp am auzit ca parca sa retras dar nu am stiut exact de ce.
Dumnezeu sa-l odihneasca!

dumnezeu sa-l odihneasca

Cu mare tristete va anunt, pe cei care poate nu stiati deja, ca s-a stins din viata Richard Burns, campion mondial de raliuri in 2001, la numai 34 de ani in urma unei tumori cerebrale.

Dumnezeu sa-l odihneasca

dumnezeu sa-l ierte..

Dumnezeu sa-l odihneasca !

Dumnezeu sa-l odihneasca!

RIP

Dumnezeu sa-l ierte:(

Ce ti-e si cu tampeniile astea.....odihneasca-se in pace ! Si sa fim feriti de astfel de nenorociri.

Socant! Chiar zilele trecute ma uitam pe o statistica la WRC si i-am vazut numele.Mi-am adus aminte ca dupa ce a iesit campion mondial a zis ca se retrage unn an sau doi pentru ca are o tumoare pe creier.Sincer,nu m-am asteptat ca destinul lui sa fie atat de tragic.
Probabil ca acolo Sus exita raliuri si pentru Burns si pentru Beef!

Odihneasca-se in pace!

Nu-mi vine sa cred !!!!!
RIP

RALLY HERO SPECIAL EDITION
A new special edition Impreza WRX STI in memory of rally hero Richard Burns who died in November last year of cancer.
Called the RB320, the new car features around £6,000 worth of extra equipment including the 320 PS Prodrive Performance Pack, yet costs £29,995 on-the-road – an increase of only £3,500.

Available only in Obsidian Black, the RB320 features bespoke 18 ins alloy wheels and specially developed Prodrive suspension comprising Bilstein dampers, a sports spring kit with revised rear anti-roll bar and a ride height lowered by 30 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear.

Also standard on the RB320 are a chrome mesh front grille, front lip spoiler, quickshift gearchange, side sill plates and RB320-branded gear knob, carpet mats and exclusive exterior badging. Each owner will also receive an individually numbered black alloy tax disc holder.

The PPP boosts power to 320 PS at 6,000 rpm with torque leaping to 332 lb ft at 3,700 rpm. This reduces the 0-60 mph time to 4.8 seconds with a 0-100 mph time of 12.2 seconds.

And as a further incentive, those customers placing early orders with deposits will be offered a limited number of places at a special RB320 launch event next March at Prodrive’s test track in Warwickshire.

Not only will RB320 fans take delivery of their cars at the circuit but will be able to drive demonstration STIs around the track and meet rally celebrities.

In addition, customers will also be able to register on-line and reserve the limited-edition number of their choice via a special sub-section of Subaru’s website.

Finally, the first car is to be given away in a special raffle organised by Autosport magazine, donated by Subaru (UK) Limited.

The proceeds will go to the Richard Burns Foundation which helps those suffering from serious injury and illness.

Subaru rally ace, Richard Burns – holder of the FIA World Rally Championship driver’s title – died in November 2005 of brain cancer at the age of 34.
