Richard Burns dies

Truly sad. I can't remember when he was diagnosed with his tumour. But 12 years ago when I was doing an internship in Neurosurgery, the expected life expectancy of anyone with an intrinsic glioma, whether it was treated or not was 11 months. Looks like there has been no improvement in treatment success.

  • He was diagnosed exactly 2 years ago.
    He tried to fight, but clearly there was nothing to do.
    In 24 hours UK lost first its greatest footballer then its greatest rally driver.

    Bye Richard, thanks for the performance you showed us, and say hi to Henri Toivonen at the Rally Club wherever you both are now.
  • Very sad - he had many more gravel roads ahead of him.

    Just shows it can happen to any of us. I think he was driving on the motorway to compete in Rally GB when he suddenly started to feel odd.
  • I remember seeing him on TV speaking about a return to rallying.
