A organização do Rali Vinho Madeira (RVM) conta, todos os anos, com a colaboração de cerca de 1300 elementos na estrada. Se tivermos em conta, apenas os últimos 10 anos, pode-se falar de alguns milhares de colaboradores que, de forma desinteressada e cooperante, têm o seu nome ligado ao rali.
Estranhamos que, nos dias que antecedem o evento, surjam algumas queixas, por vezes recorrendo a expedientes (por exemplo cartas do leitor), nas quais são feitas reclamações públicas que não correspondem à realidade dos factos, e não são expostas no tempo e no local próprio.
Today, the 29th July, take place, in Madeira Tecnopolo, the administrative checks and scrutineering of 2015 edition of Rali Vinho Madeira.
The scrutineering is made by the Federação Portuguesa de Automobilismo e Karting technical delegates Carlos Barros e João Vasconcelos, together with a team of 14 members coordinated by Arlindo Cruz Silva.
