I have not heard anything for a while, I no that he was at the Rally Day at Castle Combe back in August where some of his old cars where on display, I think Colin McRae drove his championship winning Subrau. There where some photos in MN and Autosport and he looked quite ill and was using a wheelchair.

His focus is on being in as comfortable a condition as possible - he won't be rallying again

Perhaps in a couple of years we will see him in minor events as a hobby, but I think he was never realisticaly going to return to the level of fitness required to race at the top level again. It's a real waste, but at least he should live a full life otherwise.

Richard burns was a great driver who risked his life day in day out in a piece of metal which could be easily compressed. the man has huge breavery and fight, and there's no reason why he shouldn't pull through this fighting.
