Leader of the Peugeot Iberian Rally Cup, Pedro Antunes brings to the island a 208 Rally4. For the driver from Torres Vedras, "this will be a debut in Rali Vinho da Madeira as I only attended the race once as a spectator. The goal is to get a place on the podium of the trophy. We know that João Silva should be very strong and is the biggest candidate for victory, but on the other hand, he "does not enter" the accounts of our championship. We'll be focussing on our opponents for the whole year, especially the Spaniards who trail us in the standings.  Let's see what happens. I don't know the rally, only what they tell us, that it's complicated. But everyone also praises the special stages... We will fight for as many points as possible."

Antunes recently turned 30 and made his debut in 2015 with a Citroën C2 R2. He won two national class titles, in 2016 with a Citroën DS3 R1 and in 2017 with a Peugeot 208 R2. That same year he became ERT junior champion. He won the Peugeot Iberian Rally Cup in 2020 and in 2021 he represented Citroën with a C3 Rally2 in the Azorean championship. Last year he only competed in one event. In 2023, he returned to active duty and was the best in the cup in the Ourense and Terras d'Aboboreira rallies.
