Video tribute to the memory of Richard Burns who passed away four years ago on 25/11/05, aged just 34.
England's only world rally champion contested 106 WRC events between 1990-2003, scoring 10 victories and lifting the title in 2001 for Subaru. He drove for Peugeot, Mitsubishi and Subaru in the World Rally Championship.
Prodrive boss David Richards tribute at the time of Burns passing: "Richard was extremely well respected in the sport and loved by many, many fans around the world.
"We talk about him in this country as an English world champion, and the only English world champion for that matter, but he had fans all around the world.
"The world championship goes to the far reaches - New Zealand, South America - and everywhere I'm sure they are mourning his death today.
"He was just an extremely professional character, he set about things in a very methodical way, not quite the flamboyance of Colin McRae but equally professional. Supported by Robert Reid his co-driver, they were a great team.
"He was very involved with the team, he more so than anyone mucked in with everyone and got on with the team."
