rallying lost one of its finest legends RIP

Is it that long ago?

Colin McRae's untimely demise doesn't seem that far off, but Richard was heading for all time greatness.

Brilliant talent and fantastic personality.

Is it that long ago?

 

I did wonder that as well, just looked at good old Wikipedia and they say November 2005 so right year but I was miss informed re the date. Sorry

 

Still a legend and a great loss.

Died on the anniversary of winning the world championship in November..... I competed on the Richard burns memorial rally a few years back and they had a hall with lots of memorabilia and personal items associated with his life and career.. Took 2 visits to see it all as I got quite choked up....

Unfortunately it was also the same day that some drunk who used to play some football finally succumbed to his own excesses so his death was completely overshadowed in the press.
