Poor Result For MINIs In Rally De Portugal

The two teams driving MINIs in the WRC Rally de Portugal, Brazilian WRT and Motorsport Italia, failed to finish due to mechanical problems. The Brazil World Rally Team issued this statement:
Unfortunately, after four days of competition and more than 385.37 kilometres of tough stages, Oliveira’s MINI stopped within the last stage of race with a broken suspension, 13 kilometres from the finishing line. Daniel couldn’t fulfill his aim of finishing his first event in the WRC. However, the general outcome was highly positive for him and the team.
Motorsport Italia/BAMP's MINI Countryman WRC S2000 piloted by Armindo Araujo suffered a tire puncture on on day two, but was eventually forced to retire with engine problems.
