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.
