  • A short seven minute film, featuring the highlights of Richard Burns' competition career as well as the intimate details of his courageous fight against an aggressive form of brain cancer in the twilight of his life.
    The film is intended to give context to the Paint It Orange campaign as motorsport remembers ten years since Richard's 2001 World title and today's ongoing work of the Richard Burns Foundation as it endeavours to improve the circumstances of others facing neurological injury and illness.
    Directed by Nick Rowland and produced by students of AUCB Film School during our second year.

    Even when this man couldn't drive the car, he developed one hell of a video game so that others could experience the thrill of the sport. That one game alone got me hooked into motorsports. And I'll never forget that cheer at 5:43. Thank you Richard :'(

      I never saw him rally live (I wasn't even born before 2003), but I play the game with NGP6, and it's just absolutely fantastic! I also remember watching the WRC highlights as a kid and it was unbelievable that he was able to beat McRae! And then I saw his Wikipedia page and found out he died a long time a go :( R.I.P legend, your contribution to rallying will never be forgotten

    Tears in my eyes watching this. Met Burnsie in 1999 before the final stage of the network q rally. I was only 12 but he made time to sign autographs and have pictures taken and had a joke with me and my father. Juha kankkunen pulled up behind and was pretty miserable. Top bloke, would have certainly won more titles

    Been watching back the era of Makinen, McRae, Burns, Sainz and co. Amazing times in rallying especially the GB final round in 2001. As a McRae fan I was gutted he crashed out and wasn't exactly ecstatic when Burns won. Now I am so glad that Burn did win his Championship. We have lost both McRae and Burn which is just unbelievable. For Burn to pass away exactly 4 years to the day after winning the 2001 Championship was heartbreaking. R.I.P Richard. A true Champion in and out of the car.

    A nice tribute to a great rally driver. I remember watching R.B. on tv , saying something like "Why can't I drive this car?" to Robert Reid. Soon after, he was in hospital. It was sudden, sad, and shocking for me, and I didn't even know him!
    As a momento, I went and bought Richard Burns Rally for XBox (better on PC?) and got a sense of the complexity of rally driving. Didn't win much money though!
    Still have the first two copies of Rally Sport from 1999. Burns and Reid inside! R.I.P..

People who achieve that level of greatness in their lives will never be forgotten❤️❤️ I didn’t want to watch this video because it’s proper lump in the throat sadness, but I’m glad I did because we so often take life for granted. It is very cool to have all these moments online for eternity, for everyone to cherish. I hope his Wife family and friends found some happiness as time moved forward❤️❤️

    Tho a sad year in 2005. As 4 years since his WRC title winning drive (which is a 3rd place podium that won the Champions for him 2001 ) which burns passed away. The same year was also for Michael Park's unfortunate demise in the same rally which burns won the Title 4 years ago is painful for British fans as well. Really sorry for the British fans for the unfortunate moment in the year 2005 which is the year to forget for British Rally fans. RIP Michael Park, Richard Burns and Colin McRae ( who also passed away 2 years later in 2007 )
