Richard Burns, who won the world rally championship in 2001, has died at the age of 34 after a long illness, on the fourth anniversary of his title win.

That wasn't very respectful. And not even funny.

That's sad, I remember watching him a great deal on the BBC's coverage in days gone by.

My prayers go out to the family and friends of Richard Burns. May he rest in peace.

What a way you have of respecting people who have died, your family must be really proud of you.

Brian says (9:16 AM): I was looking at houses in Ottawa... I actually have a temptation in me to move
Jeff ******* says (9:19 AM): Eww, Ottawa is gross. It's infested with politicians, and presently, 1 Harper as well.

Not to mention the coverage the media gave to him versus the one gave to George Best… I don't think that was totally fair… but well… I don't live in the UK, I could be wrong…

You're right. Barely a mention except on Top Gear.
