    Jason Richards had several trips to the podium for the Premier race, the Bathurst 1000, making him a sporting-figure within Australia that will never be forgotten.

    THE V8 Supercar community is in deep mourning with the tragic passing of popular driver Jason Richards.

    The New Zealander passed away peacefully last night at 8.00pm after a brave battle with Adreno Cortical Carcinoma (ACC), with which he was first diagnosed in November last year.

    A native of Nelson in New Zealand but a resident of Melbourne for the last six years, Richards is survived by wife Charlotte and young daughters Sienna and Olivia.
