RALLY:::  Driver/Co-Driver of the Month:   Peugeot Driver Richard Burns

Burns.jpg (26658 bytes)

Now rated as Britain's top driver, Burns has come a long way in his three seasons as effective number one with Subaru. He learned his world championship trade with Mitsubishi, then stepped in to replace Colin McRae at the end of 1998. Two runner up places in the WRC standings paved the way for title success in 2001. A switch to Peugeot for the new season sets up an intriguing battle with his new team mate, former World Champion Marcus Gronholm as Burns attempts to defend his title.

CHARACTER: Fast, intense, passionate and supremely focused, Burns is a fine all-rounder and a threat on any surface.
