Hard to believe that this month marks 10 years since Richard Burns and Robert Reid won their WRC title at Rally GB and six years since Burns died after a battle with brain cancer aged just 34. I never had the pleasure of meeting Richard but during my brief foray into rallying as a co-driver for Tony Jardine – which culminated in our crack at WRC Rally Sweden in 2009 – I was mentored by Robert and heard some wonderful stories.
The Richard Burns Foundation have just released this film to highlight the Foundation's Paint It Orange campaign, which will see stars from within the world of motorsport, including Sebastien Loeb and Sebastian Vettel, plus celebrities from outside the racing world, wearing commemorative orange t-shirts celebrating the 10th anniversary of Burns' WRC title success. The foundation raises funds to assist others facing neurological injury and illness.
