Rali Vinho da Madeira with a luxury entry list
National Champion, Ricardo Teodósio shows number 1
The 63rd edition of the Rali Vinho da Madeira has a list of 61 entries which highlights the great quality of the competitors and vehicles which will be on the road between August 4th and 6th. The list drawn up by the Club Sports da Madeira brings together some foreign names of international prominence to the champions or main participants of the National Championship of the last eight years and those of the regional competition in the last two decades.
Over three days, drivers of the calibre of Italian Simone Campedelli, former Junior Champion of his country and one of the protagonists of the ERC, and Spanish Alejandro Cachon, who defends Citroën in the neighbouring country, and Emma Falcon, European Champion in 2018, will evolve in the 17 classifications of the three days of competition. Fighting for the top positions will be previous winners of the event such as Alexandre Camacho, Miguel Nunes, Bruno Magalhães or José Pedro Fontes and many others.
At the wheel of the 22 Rally2 vehicles, known as R5, competitors such as Ricardo Teodósio, Bernardo Sousa, Armindo Araújo, Miguel Correia, Pedro Almeida, Pedro and Paulo Meireles, José Camacho, Gil Freitas, Rui Pinto or José Paula are also registered.
The list also includes the two powerful Porsche 991 GT3 of Filipe Freitas and Paulo Mendes, the Ford Fiesta Rally3 of Daniel Nunes or the references of the front wheel drive cars with drivers like Vítor Sá, Rui Jorge Fernandes, Dinarte Baptista, Ivo Sardinha, Renato Pita, Miguel Caires and the returning of João Silva. Adruzilo Lopes, in the local debut of the Toyota Yaris GR, and Cláudio Nóbrega, "king of the show" with his Datsun 1200, are also worthy of mention.
