past the finishing line this time, instead of R Burns

Richard Burns out next season.
Richard Burns will be out the whole next season, because of medical
treatment for a head or brain tumor. That is why he passed out behind the
wheel some time ago, and could not finish this season in RGB in Wales. I
suppose that the tumor must be benign, since he plans his comeback in the
WRC in 2005. Who will now substitute him as Subaru driver next season, is
yet undecided, but I will surely bet my money on Colin McRae. Petter Solberg
is of course now first driver in the Subaru WRC team next season, as the new
world rally champion, and Burns was supposed to be second, but now things
have changed because of his illness, so at least for me Colin McRae is the
hot favorite to substitute him as Subaru second driver next season. We will
just have to wait and see who it will be.

Re: Richard Burns out next season.
And if they get McRae, then the costs go up another million euros because he
just thrashes a car per race

Re: Richard Burns out next season.
Spoken like a man who thinks only about the race at hand instead of
the world championship
I've never been a Burns fan but I think there is nothing wrong with
racing strategically and they don't give a title to the most wins,
only to the most points. Having said that, Burns ended the season
with neither and even if he had raced in Wales I don't think he would
have won the title. Certainly no disrespect meant to a man facing
surgery or chemotherapy.

Re: Richard Burns out next season.
Fault of othe new point scoring system, race winner should get at least 3 or
4 more points than runnerup

If not Colin NcRae, then why not big brother Henning Solberg? He is
currently by far the best national rally driver here in Norway.

Henning Solberg is the big brother of Petter Solberg, but he is only a
couple of years older than Petter. Both rally driving brothers are married
to Swedish girls, BTW, Henning + Maud, and Petter + Pernilla.

Henning and wife Maud are still living in his home town of Spydeberg here in
Norway, while Petter and wife Pernilla just recently moved to Monte Carlo,
Monaco.

Re: Richard Burns out next season.
What about Harri Rovanperä? He drove for peugeot this year, at least, he
doesnt wrap his cars around trees like McRae does
