By the end of this week, Rally Madeira Legend, organized by Club Sports da Madeira, will hit the roads, an event that is open to historic racing cars that were legends in the motorsports competitions.  Even following the rally rules, or racing competition, this event is defined due to its specific features. The competition will be open to two types of vehicles, the Historic and the Spirit.
 As the name can tell, Historic vehicles were built until the late 1986 and still have all its original characteristics, according to its homologation document at that time. As for Spirit vehicles, they can display a historic bodywork but have its mechanical parts and settings that were not used back then. Rally Madeira Legend will also have a Legend Show limited to vehicles that have been homologated more recently, but, due to its potential, are excluded from the competition, being used as performance vehicles only.
The performance of this type of competing vehicles slightly mirrors the spirit of this competition that, despite the competitors’ effort to reassure the best sports outcome, the most relevant is the possibility given to participants and audience to feel the past emotions for these racing cars.
