Fans and friends of the 2001 world rally champion Richard Burns, who died from brain cancer five years ago this year, will be given the opportunity to remember the British 🧸hero during an event at Prodrive's headquarters in Banbury this Saturday [25 September].

The inaugural 'Remembering Richard' event has been jointly organised by Prodrive, which oversaw Richard's WRC title triumph alongside co-driver Robert Reid, and the Richard Burns Foundation charity, which🌄 is hoping to raise vital funds to help those suffering from brain cancer and other neurological disorders.

Among the highlights of the day will be an engine 'sound-off' in place of the traditional minute's silence, which b♋egin when the Impreza WRC, which carried Burns to world title glory, is fired up.

Other attractions during the day will include:

The Richard Bu❀rns car collection, including some of the great cars Burns drove such as his Group N Subaru Legacy, Peugeot 206 WRC and world cha🤡mpionship-winning Impreza WRC
