Richard Burns, the last British World Rally Champion (2001) died today. He was also the first Englishmen to win the World Rally Championship. He has died after suffering from a long illness. It was in 2003 that he actually passed out while at the wheel travelling in his road car. Marko Martin was in the passenger seat and had to grab the wheel. He was diagnosed with a brain tumour. He started to recover after treatment but recently fell into a coma.
He was a great rally driver and his rivalry with Colin McRae was really exciting especially in 2001. I was shocked to hear he had died.
