RIP Burnsie, as said on that rally forum, spare a thought for Markko Martin.

He was in the car with RB on the way to Rally GB when he was taken ill.

He's lost two good mates this year.

Edited: RIP Burns. Such a shock, he must have had a relapse as I am sure he was on the mend.



Has appeared on the BBC site in the last 3 hours:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/motorsport/default.stm



I can't believe he has gone, so sudden. Most there are a warning of some sort but looking back through the BBC pages, the last was April showing positive signs after his op.

I read a few weeks ago that his tumour was getting worse and he didn't have long to live.

A very sad loss
