[owl_NO]

R.I.P Richard :(

[Fordman]

R.Burns. May god be with you on your Final Journey.

Lost but never Forgotten.

[tristancliffe]

I was wondering how he was only a few days ago. Rallying and motorsport have lost an almost certain legend, but he never had the real opportunity to prove how good he could be.

RIP Richard. You will be missed.

[markredden]

I was the same Tristan, wondering how he was getting on, news was really quiet. So shocked to hear this news this morning. Rest in Peace Richard.

[Neokiller]

-Rest in Peace-

[STROBE]

So young, so unexpected, so awful. A loss of a truly talented man.

[GTR_Yuni]

So young, so unexpected, so awful. A loss of a truly talented man.
Man, why do bad things have to happen to good people!?! :(
I'd have to agree with what you just said..

[zorrofox]

Aye, this is a shock indeed. He was a great driver, and a Gentleman. My thoughts to his family. Another sad day.

[Tweaker]

I have not been on the net for a few days, and this is totally new to hear... completely unexpected too. I figured he had passed away from a severe accident whilst driving or something... but apparently.... an illness? :( A real shame. At least his name brought us a great rally simulation, I hope another one will be created on his behalf :D

:tombstone

[varjsa-9]

At first I couldn't believe this. Damn... really sad year in rallye world.

Rest in Peace Richard.

[DasBoeseC]

:(

[OPK]

I feel really sad atm :(

I always liked him - a great driver, an interesting person.
Throughout the last weeks I thought a lot about him, because there have been no news for months about him.
When the illness started just before the Rally of GB some years ago I was shocked already but it looked like he was getting better :(

No news for a long time were a bad sign, but still it is a shock :(
Everytime I play RBR I have some bad feeling - weird, huh...

Rest in peace

[turbo-janek]

['] ['] ['] ['] ..for living memory of good driver

[GT Touring]

RIP richard-an inspiration to us all, now legend

[CrazyBrit]

I have actually had the pleasure of meeting Richard quite often, and even after the inital diagnosis nearly two years ago, he was always looking on the bright side, even though he knew that the future was going to be very short. The bad thing about his death is that it wasn't doing something that he loved, like Marco Martins co-driver.
Long may his memory live on in all of us racers. Although he mainly raced on the gravel, he was a racer at heart, and that is what we all have in common.

LONG LIVE RICHARD BURNS>:thumbsup:

[MorroW]

Sorry for bumping this old thread, but today, one year ago this happened :(

I'm quite big WRC fan and this day is something what I just can't forget.

[Tweaker]

Ehhh and OPK still has his avatar with his pic :( Sad he had to die

[Stuart Fleming]

i know this wont be a popular link cos it links to RSC but if you are a Ricahrd Burns fan you might be interested in it... LINK (http://forum.rscnet.org/showthread.php?t=274450)

RIP Richard, it really doesn't feel like its been a year already

[Bob Smith]

Yeah, that year went fast. I should try and fire up the old girl (RBR that is) this weekend for a bit, haven't tried it with my G25 yet. His name will never leave my PC.

[franky500]

Wass always good fun. Such a shame.

R.I.P

[deggis]

A bit off topic but I read that Markko Märtin is coming back next season, driving some private Mitsubishi WRC. Surprisingly soon after the accident but good news.

[Niels Heusinkveld]

Boredom?? Once you start to go quickly but still not knowing each dent in the road, like I did when RBR was just out, 6:12 at East-West surely isn't boring :)

[spsamsp]

Oh My... I didn't know! How?

[deggis]

Oh My... I didn't know! How?
Huh? Didn't know about Richard Burns passing away? even that you are a Brit? :pillepall

[Mc21]

[jamesrowe]

Does not feel like a year, did not know about LFS at the time, but remember seeing it on TV and becoming very sad :(
R.I.P, driving genius!

I love the game also :), only thing is, I have to fire up my PS2 to play! :(
