Richard Burns must be one of the less crash-prone drivers on the WRC trail. He rarely damages his cars, let alone retires from a rally due to crashing.
At Silversone today while driving a Porsche celebrity car, Burns rolled his car after half a lap! He's perfectly safe and is looking to do more racing. |

Actually, it wasn't his fault. Another competitor spun in front of him and clipped his car as he went past.
That's what pitched him into the roll. Just a racing accident, and nothing he could have done would have prevented it. Hope it doesn't put him off, because by all accounts he was taking to it like a duck to water. |

Spot on Tim D
I was at Club and had a perfect view of it. The poo brown coloured Porsche lost it on the exit of the 's'-bend and span straight in front of Burns. There was no way he could have avoided it. Still he took it good spirit, saluting the crowd and taking the applause afterwards! |
