Burns feeling better after tumour operation

Former World Rally champion Richard Burns has revealed he is “feeling a lot better” as he continues his treatment for a brain tumour which saw him confined to hospital for several weeks.

Burns suffered a blackout at the wheel of his Porsche while travelling on the motorway ahead of the Wales Rally GB in November 2003.

He was subsequently diagnosed as having a condition known as astrocytoma a virulent form of brain tumour which required him to undergo radiotherapy.
