the WRC thread

I only heard about this today :shock:
Kinda sad this has not had much of a mention in the news :cry: :cry: :cry:


Richard Burns' life came to an end Friday, November 25, 2005. The 2001
World Rally champion had been diagnosed with a brain tumor in November
2003, forcing his retirement from WRC competition.

In 2001, there was a celebration at the end of the Rally of Great Britain
when Burns, known as the "Lionheart", became the first Englishman to win
the WRC title -- and to this date, Burns still is the only rally driver from
England to have taken the WRC championship.

Richard Burns.

I Salute You :fist: :fist: :fist:
