Good news from Richard Burns
It looks like Richard is well on the road to recovery.

I have just read the very same thing on another forum. The full text of Richard said can be found at http://www.richardburns.com/news.cfm?flag=2&id=354
It sounds like he is on the mean, which is fantastic news. I am still not sure if we will see him back in the WRC. But this news today sounds very postive. |

This is indeed encouraging. Realistically it's unlikely that he'll return to full-time racing, especially as there'll be less manufactuerer drives available by 2006, but this is much more important.

Good news indeed, I got the following message via the Richard Burns Fanclub in email today:
Hi everyone, As most of you know a year ago I was taken ill on the way to Rally GB and shortly afterwards I was diagnosed with a brain tumour. This was a total shock. I had been 100% committed to trying to win the WRC and suddenly, nothing was more important than my health and I had to commit 100% to beating my illness. I don’t mind admitting it has been really really tough but I have remained positive and as happy as I can throughout. The support I have had from my doctors, family and friends has been fantastic. Also I want to thank all the people who have sent me their good wishes – it really helps to know that my fans are still rooting for me and that I’m not forgotten! I have been following the WRC on the television and I want to add my congratulations to Seb for winning the Championship this year. He is a very focussed driver and deserves this win. Also I would like to wish Carlos a happy retirement, - he has been a dedicated and passionate rally driver throughout his years and the sport will miss him. My treatment has been very intensive but I am now getting physically and mentally much stronger. It is still too soon to think about what the future holds – I am just concentrating on trying to get back to a normal life. The doctors still need to keep a close eye on me but, when they give me the OK to travel, I am looking forward to coming to see a rally sometime soon…maybe I will see you there! Have a great Christmas, I will! and Best Wishes for 2005 Take Care Richard |
