Astrocytoma, a particularly nasty form of brain tumour, he was diagnosed with it about two years ago, i think...

RIP Richard, our thoughts are with his family, another big loss for the rallying world!

Shocking news, I knew he was diagnosed with it but not that it would end his life so prematurely. A great talent lost.

RIP Richard.
Is this real? As there is nothing about it on the bbc news website, or on www.wrc.com, which I'm very suprised at. I just hope it is someone's idea of a sick kind of joke, the guy is/was a rallying legend.

Aye tis true I think
