First of all, a big hello to everyone!

On Friday 25th November, 2011, it will be ten years to the date since Richard Burns became the 2001 World Rally Champion. Sadly, it'll also be six years exactly since he was taken from the world cruelly, and far too soon.

Myself and funkyDucks have decided to celebrate his crowning glory, as well as remembering the man himself by holding a memorial event in honour of Richard

This will be held on Friday 25th November, at 22:00 GMT (though this is negotiable if the demand is there)

RBMR will be held over six stages; Eiger Nordwand K Trail, Toscana, Chamonix... and to add some spice to proceedings, three randomly generated stages! For the generated stages, a group Recce of one lap will be undertaken at a pre-determined speed of 50 mph. Cars will then set off at ten second intervals. The winner is the driver with the fastest aggregate time over the six stages. Simple!

A choice of four cars are allowed, all significant in Richard's career in one form or another; the Mitsubishi Evo IV from 1997 (the car in which he claimed his first WRC win), the Subaru Impreza WRC '99 (the car in which he came runner-up in 1999), the Subaru Impreza WRC '01 (his title-winning car) and the Peugeot 206 WRC (his final competition car). NB: All cars are to be UNMODIFIED. Please note each car will be limited to a maximum of four.

There are prizes for the top three finishers, but we're not going to tell you what they are... that would spoil the surprise :P

Damage will be set to FULL, Track Condition will be set to REAL and all assists will be set to OFF, to enhance the challenge

We hope as many of you can make it as possible, to remember Richard and his success, as well as having a good, fun race night with clean competitors. If you've got any questions, or if I've missed anything out, please feel free to ask either myself or funkyDucks, my PSN is RFLXWidowmaker, and funkyDucks is funkyDucks (easy, eh!)

Thank you for reading. :)

As a huge Subaru fan, I feel i could join you in this event.
He was a great man, and I feel his death was over shadow by Colin M. Not Saying Colin was not a great man, but people do not seem to remember who Richard Burns was.

Great news! I know how you feel, it seems that Colin is always the one who is remembered, but Richard was cruelly taken before his time, plus it's been some time since he passed.
I'm guessing you'd like to be put down in a Subaru of some sort? :)
 
Yes I know what you mean, Burns was my fav Rally diver had a lot of respect for the man.
Yes I would like to be put down for a Scoob.

I'll also be taking the '01 Impreza. Was hoping for a bigger turnout myself... still a few hours yet!
