Stars back Richard Burns 'Paint It Orange' campaign

A raft of motorsport stars have backed a new 'Paint It Oran༺ge' campaꦇign to commemorate the tenth anniversary of Richard Burns' World Rally Championship title win.

The 🐲new campai🌼gn aims to raise funds for the Richard Burns Foundation, which is keen to see a 'sea of orange' cheering drivers on during the final round of the WRC season in Wales next month.

Sebastien Loeb, Sebastien Ogier, Mikko Hirvonen, Jari-Matti Latvala, Kris Meeke and Dani Sordo are amongst those WRC drivers to have helped launch the camp𒐪aign with a number of F1 drivers pledging to suppo🃏rt the campaign this weekend in India.

As well as seeing motorsport stars wearing the new t-shirts, fans are encouraged to post photos of themselves on the Richard Burns Foundation page.

"It's staggering how many famous people are pulling these great orange t-shirts over their🎃 heads and inspiring the public to buy one too, especially if they are heading to Wales in a few wee🔴ks time," Richard Burns Foundation patron and double BTCC title winner Jason Plato said. "I confidently predict the valleys will be painted orange - it's a great way to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Richard's greatest achievement."

Funds raised from sales of the 'Paint It Orange' t-shirts - which can be purchased - will go towards assistin🅰g people suffering from neurological injury and illnesses in the UK.
