So sad to hear about Richard's death....a true gent and fantastic ambassador to rallying....one of the quickest/smoothest drivers ever....

There has been a void in British Rallying since he collapsed and became ill in 2003.....

RIP Richard.....

RIP Richard - my thoughts go out to friends and family.

I knew about his brain tumor but I thought he was on the road to recovery - such a huge loss!

Genuinely gutted here!

Makes it even worse when it's something shit like a brain tumor imo.

At least in cases like Senna, Micheal Parks, Joey Dunlop they died doing something they dedicated their lives to.

Makes it ten times worse to be cut off in your prime by an unrelated illness or accident

A sad loss

It makes me feel better that the party BillyCabrio is organising is going to help in a small way to fighting this terriable disease
