He died the same day as George Best and the news had everything about him and so little about Burns. So a drunken, wife-beating waste of 2 livers gets the footage he doesn't deserve and Burns gets a couple of inches a few pages in.
@Calum643 can't forget Dan wheldon, man so many british motor racing stars die when in their prime, well atleast they died doing what they loved and had the passion for. RIP you legends!
FELLOW RACERS, i'm looking to contact SCI to see if they would remake this game for current consoles. I have set up a petition page so they can see how many of us want it, please sign as it will show them that it's not a waste of money. Thank you Unfortuanetly, i cannot paste the link on here, but if you go onto facebook, the link is on a page called 'RICHARD BURNS REMAKE'
Richard was an all round top bloke and is sadly missed by the Irish rallying community ! i watched him progress up through the ranks to achieve his goal. was lucky to meet him once and its a shame hes gone but we were blessed to have seen him fly through the stages.
he died on the same day as one of our footballers in ni george best. we didn't hear literally anything on richard at all because every newspaper was focusing on george. in the Northern ireland newspapers
i miss him so much...he was such great human and driver...i met him once in the Acropolis race and he was such a pleasat person...always smiling...really sad that he left so young...rest in peace richard and farewell...
@sonicnuckle realy? i work for my food, you people just drinking averyday not just once a week but everyday, not working are agressive and racists, thats what i see here in your country, we work here my friend but i am not saing my country is any better its same shit, i am not saying a hate british people but i see what is going on and its not good. thank for your launch, did you mean fish and cheps? hahah what a mess i dont eat this thanks anyway
"british always showing off how best they are but actualy they are the most horrible people on the planet"
And now you call us drunks and racists, go home, fish an chips with extra batter I am sure you could swallow that, knuckle in. You call us racists and here you are on Youtube being a racist.
@Tomahawk7670 ; The british don't like you invading Peterborough and now every corner of the British isles, its not just the idle jobless that want you lot to leave, its the majority.
If you don't like the UK why not crawl under another articulated Truck and head back to the 3rd world where you belong...how about we all come to you country and buy up all your houses, they are cheap enough thats for sure.
@Tomahawk7670 ; You are obsessed with alcohol, your country is a failure thats why you scum are bleeding the UK dry, most people have jobs in the Uk, you are refering to the idle youth from social housing.
I have a skilled trade like my father and his father and can afford to stay in my own country, you lot live in a 3rd world economy so your ancestors are all failures...Sad twat.
@Tomahawk7670 ; Even moderate Brits are becoming fed up with the amount of eastern europeans swamping the country, you won't be welcome here for too much longer thats for sure...
@Tomahawk7670 ; You live a different lifestyle to the civilised world, you come here and then start eating roadkill and steal from allotements, you beg on the streets and foul the air with that revolting accent, only the shit from the eastern europeans have come to the UK, the failures, the thieves and the scum with attitudes like yours, you are not welcome, look around when you speak that dumb language and see..
@Tomahawk7670 Ok so the "most horrible people on the planet" also give the most foreign aid per capita then anyone else on planet. makes sense, i think not
it's fantastic to me that Clarkson is truly upset by it. That brain tumor wasted such a talent. That man had so much potential, destroyed by a sad, painful, debilitating illness. And just a wonderful man. No one has a bad word to say about him.
You've been my hero since I saw Apocalypse Clarkson in about 1996 or 1997
Here's to you, Rich. I'm sure you're the champion, wherever you are now.
I remember that Richard died the same day as George Best, all the media was covering Best but there was hardly any mention of Burns. Top Gear were pretty much the only ones to mention and give him an on air tribute, props to them for doing so.
Right. And most people think he just sold his name to the Game. The truth is he spent a lot of time in Physics-testing during the development of the Simulation. So it has a little bit of a legacy.
the moment when jeremy said 'he's such a nice bloke, i miss him, badly' his voice and his facial expression changed just as he said 'i miss him, badly'. clarkson has feelings too.
He didn't give a sh!t did he, he was a take it or leave it kind of guy and thats what made him unique, he drove like a complete psycho in the subaru, he will be forever missed, same as Colin McRae
Tragic loss to British motorsport, unfortunatley his death was overshadowed by some alcoholic footballer on the same day though, didn't get the mass recognition nhe deserved before or after his death :(
It's so sad that the only two British drivers to have won the World Rally Championship passed long before their time, RIP guys
Can't believe Richard Burns died, He was born in Reading, where i live. I'm starting Rallying soon and i can only HOPE to be as good as Richard was, Everytime i watch a motorsport i think of you Richard. R.I.P :(
@tiadaid I don't want to take anything away from seb,but do you think if he was at his peak in the 90's he'd have beaten makinen,sainz,McCrae,burns, kankkunen etc. I don't think he would have had as many titles, take him out of the citroen, would he still win WRC is in a sorry state,there's no competition from works cars
@eldictator1 Oh, most definitely not. He could have one one or two, but that's probably with all the others having serious problems. I mean Sebastian Loeb is a talented driver, but the era he's driving in like you said is in a sorry state. What the hell happened to the WRC?
@tiadaid coincedentally, the drop off started around 2002-2003 when Loeb started to gain momentum and wins.. You've got a two horse race with citroen and ford. Loeb hasn't moved from Citroen, who have been the best manufacturer for the past 5 years! and have taken advantage of other team changes and disorganisation, no fault of Loeb but he isn't the best, unlike the likes of Valentino Rossi and senna
@tiadaid I'll tell you what happened to WRC all the rally legends are pushing them selves to the absolute limit and are either injuring them selves or the cars loosing points and such, they forget about everything they should be focusing on, and WRC is getting rid of AWD for RWD i don't know why but its getting boring now, every so often they limit the speed. Why don't they just make there own tracks in a safe environment with no cliffs and such.
U know it seems that every rally video game named after a famous rally driver dies. mabe people shold stop naming rally games after famous rally drivers. R.I.P
He died the same day as George Best and the news had everything about him and so little about Burns. So a drunken, wife-beating waste of 2 livers gets the footage he doesn't deserve and Burns gets a couple of inches a few pages in.
