Flat tyre spoils good start to Rally Portugal

Despite a good start to Friday's stages of Rally Portugal, Brendan and Rhianon have had a mixed morning.  They started the day off in fine form and put in a solid run on the opening stage, finishing as the fourth fastest Academy crew. A flat tyre on the next stage, though, robbed them of over three minutes and dropped them back to 18th in class. On the last stage of the morning, Brendan clawed his way back to sit 16th in class at the lunchtime service break.

After lunch, the morning's three stages will all be repeated again.
