Dinarte Baptista will line up for Rali Vinho da Madeira "with the same goals as always in such a long race. We want to finish showing a good pace. In this rally we will be visited by many drivers in our class but we will not enter into fights at that level. We don't have the capacity to do that yet because we don't have the means. Our reality is different. We'll concentrate on the Madeira championship and drive as much as we can on mythical stages. Even to get to know the car better. Above all, we want to enjoy the whole week, as much as we can".

Baptista is 46 years old and took his first steps in the sport in 2000 with an Opel Corsa A GSi. Since then he has been behind the wheel of models such as the Toyota Starlet, Citroën Saxo, Citroën C2 R2 and, more recently, Renault Clio R3. For the 2023 season, the driver acquired the Renault Clio Rally4 with which he has lined up in the events already disputed in the Madeiran rally championship and in which, three times, he was fourth in the class. He has never won a title but has been regularly in the top positions of the competitions in which he is in.
