I remember when Richard left Rally. The extent of the cancer was not published, and we were all lead to believe that he would survive and return to WRC at some point.

This is truly a great loss to all that followed WRC. Honor the memory of this Champion. There is many great drivers in WRC, But Richard Burns did not let the fame affect him. He was a very humble person.

Richard knew his stuff for sure, I think his driving style is second to none (and Peter Solberg), he will be missed.
