A fost campion mondial in 2001, acume o amintire...
"It is with very great sadness that we must announce the death of Richard Burns, the 2001 FIA World Rally Champion. Burns, who was diagnosed with an astrocytoma, a form of brain tumour, in November 2003 passed away last night Friday 25th November peacefully. His partner Zoe, family and close friends were at his bedside.

From the outset Richard knew that the odds were heavily against him and yet he fought his illness with bravery and good humour. Having undergone both chemotherapy and radiotherapy he was able to leave hospital in summer 2004. For a while his health showed signs of improvement but then after six months it once again began to decline. Determined not to give up, he opted for surgery earlier this year. This alleviated some of the symptoms of his illness and enabled him to remain active. At Castle Combe in August he attended a parade of the rally cars that he drove throughout his career and was touched by the warmth of the reception he received. However there was to be no miracle and in recent days he lapsed into a coma.

The media, friends and fans are asked to respect the family’s privacy at this time. There will be a private funeral and instead of flowers the family would ask that donations be sent to Cancer Research. Anyone who would like to send messages should address them to the memorials pages on this website. www.richard-burns.co.uk/memorials

The date of a memorial service will be announced shortly.

Richard Burns, Age: 34
Born: Reading, Berkshire – 17 January 1971"
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

Subaru Impreza RB320
Prodrive cooks up a fitting Subaru Impreza tribute to rallying legend Richard Burns

Link site Prezentare - Subaru Impreza RB320











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.
