Gil Freitas debuts an Alpine A110 RGT in Rali Vinho da Madeira, in a presence where "the essential thing is to participate, finish and try to have the most fun. We start without any goal in terms of classification or results. I will only drive the car one day before the race and only during the competition will I get to know the Alpine of Chazel, one of the teams that developed it. I think this is going to be a very competitive edition of the RGT group and I'm off the pace. We're going to take part and drive. It will be new for us. There's everything to be surprised about".

The driver made his debut in 2013 with an Opel Kadett GT/E, a model from which he changed, in the same year, to an Opel Ascona 400. Between 2014 and 2016 he was at the controls of a Porsche 997 GT3 and, on the ramps, he won the AMAK Trophy in all those years and, in rallies, he was national champion of the grouping in 2015. Since then, he has driven Citroën DS3 R5, Porsche 991 GT3, Subaru Impreza S14 WRC and, most recently, Hyundai i20 R5. The car to be used in the Club Sports da Madeira organisation is due to return to France after the event.
