28-05-2012 at 07:00: Podium Finish for Reeves in Greece

Brendan Reeves and Rhianon Smyth have finished the second round of the World Rally Championship Academy in a stunning third.

The Acropolis Rally is tough on any rally car and it crew but Reeves pushed on to make it two podiums from two events in this year’s Championship.

Starting the second day in fourth place, Reeves again took a steady approach knowing that Saturday’s stages would be extremely rough and rocky.  When Pontus Tidemand was forced to retire with a broken driveshaft, the Australian brother and sister moved up to third place.  The remaining stages of the day weren’t without drama, though.  A broken rear arm was a cause for concern and they nursed the car home for a well-deserved podium finish.

After taking second at Rally Portugal and third in Greece, Reeves sits in third place in the WRC Academy Championship standings.  The next WRC Academy event on the calendar is Rally Finland, and with the experience gained from last year’s event, Reeves is confident of another top three finish.
