Third for Brendan in Heat 1 of Scouts Rally SA

The RallySchool.com.au rally team of Brendan Reeves and Rhianon Smyth have finished Heat 1 of Scouts Rally South Australia, round 3 of the ECB Australian Rally Championship, in third place.

Driving a Mazda2, Brendan showed good speed, consistently setting good stage times, and will go into tomorrow's Heat 2 with plenty of confidence.

Heat 1 of Scouts Rally SA was won by current series leader, Eli Evans, in a Honda Jazz, with Scott Pedder (Renault Clio) finishing second. Just 41 seconds separated first from third places.

Brendan earns 30 Championship points for his third-placed finish today and will be looking to add to that tally in Heat 2 tomorrow.
