The Regional Government supports the achievement of the “Rali Vinho da Madeira”, organized by Club Sports da Madeira, which is the greatest motorsport event performed in Madeira for 6 decades. We have a competition that, besides the strong connection it has with the local people, can be considered a tourist animation centre, as it brings to the Autonomous Region of Madeira not only fans but also the whole commercial and sports engine of drivers and teams involved.
The rally, besides the contribution coming from outside the island to the Regional economy, also has the particularity to revival local business spread all over the Island, where the racing cars drive by, as the numbers of fans follow them year after year. 
On the other hand, our cooperation for the “Rali Vinho da Madeira” to be back on the roads is justified by the impact it has in the promotion and disclosure of the Madeira Destination, as a result of other important sports events here achieved, that are part of the annual calendar of Tourism Animation of the Autonomous Region of Madeira. 
Madeira is a Tourism Destination of recognized quality, with great statement. Being so, we create conditions in order to always have such events, with great mediatic, social and economic impact, allowing to amplify the visibility of the Region through diversified events for different audiences.
An acknowledgement is due to the Club Sports Madeira and his whole team involved in the achievement of one more Rali Vinho da Madeira” edition.
