SS 10 and 14 – CÂMARA DE LOBOS

Câmara de Lobos joined the Rali Vinho da Madeira a few years ago and is run between Caminho das Fontainhas and Est. Ribeira Garcia. It is practically divided in two halves, the first one uphill and the second one downhill. It alternates some straights with sequences of very technical curves and even some sequences of "hooks" favouring the spectacle. It also joins forested and agricultural areas with areas of houses.

How to get there:

Through Câmara de Lobos: Cam. Velho Igreja, Cam. Francelheira and Cam. Luzirão.

SS 11 and 15 – PONTA DO SOL

Ponta do Sol starts at Est. Vale e Cova do Pico and evolves in very fast areas where in the middle there are some hairpin bends until Carvalhal, a traditionally spectacular area on the roads neighbouring the municipal stadium and from there begins a descent that becomes chilling in the last metres before the Ribeira da Madalena do Mar.

How to get there:

From Ponta do Sol: by Cam. Lombo do Meio, by Est. Eng. Ribeiro de Sousa and ER 222.

SS 12 and 16 – PONTA DO PARGO

This special competition whose classification is mostly determined by the skill of the drivers because it is very demanding in the sequences of long “hooks” and curves in both directions very close. Its surface varies from very wet in the tree lined area to very dry and abrasive in the bare areas. As it is all very identical along its entire length, it forces good ongoing notes.

How to get there:

From Ponta do Pargo: municipal road which gives access to Pedregal and Serrado.

SS 13 and 17 – ROSÁRIO

This trail crosses the Island along the imaginary line between São Vicente and Riveira Brava from Rosário to Serra d'Água, passing through Encumeada. It requires a lot of driving on the way up to Encumeada and then a great courage on the vertiginous descent until the end. It is one of the special races that gathers more spectators in the Rally.

How to get there:

With no alternative access roads, it requires time to travel through the start and finish.
