    Richard Burns

    Yesterday, it was five years since the sad passing of Englands first ever World Rally Champion.

    R.I.P Richard, you will never be forgotten.

    So smooth..as always with Richard

    But also the car! 206 is probably my favorite WRC-car, especially with 2003 look. Gronholm, Panizzi and Burns as drivers...pure class.

    I remember Richard as a team member with Tommi Mäkinen with Mitsubishi. Looking at his achievements during the first years I thought that he’d never be close to top. But what happened, one year he was world championship. I think this is a good lesson not to condemn a driver by the first achievements.

    I remember Richard in Rally GB about 1997 2998 when he smashed CMR on a foggy stage with a couple of minutes. What a driver he was. Driving exactly after his pacenotes.

    Absolutely brilliant driver and person!

    very solid driver...the only driver who could challenge the fins on their home turf... was a great fan of his and along with Kankkunen was one of the reasons i got passionate about rallying.
