Default Richard Burns RIP

It appears the 2001 World Champion (in a Subaru) has succumbed to the brain tumor that caused him to pull out of the 2003 Rally of Great Britain before his scheduled return to the Subaru World Rally Team.

Details: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article...892119,00.html

Rest in Peace Burnsie.

What a shame.

I guess I sorta figured things weren't getting better since we haven't had an update on his condition in a while.

RIP Burnsie.
