After finishing third in  Heat 1 of Scouts Rally SA, round 3 of the ECB Australian Rally Championship, Victorians Brendan Reeves and Rhianon Smyth backed that up with a second third place in heat 2.  We catch up with the Mazda pair.

Brendan Reeves is Australia’s top young international rally driver.  At 23 years of age he completed his first season in the World Rally Championship Academy in 2011 finishing an impressive 5th outright. Brendan and his co-driving sister Rhianon Smyth, 31, contested the WRC Academy again in 2012, finishing fourth outright and securing a number of podium finishes along the way.

In 2013, Brendan and Rhianon will contest the ECB Australian Rally Championship in a RallySchool.com.au Mazda2.

In this interview we talk to Brendan about the rally, his experience in the WRC and rallying a Mazda 2
