Among the competitors in the Portuguese championship, victory in Rali Vinho da Madeira went to Armindo Araújo, at the wheel of a Skoda Fabia RS Rally2. The driver came under attack from José Pedro Fontes, who was very strong in his Citroën C3 Rally2 on the second special stage, but who dropped out in the last special stage of the event due to an accident.

Previous leader of the CPR, Kris Meeke was delayed by problems with his Hyundai i20N Rally2 and was only seventh in the championship standings. With these premises, Araújo is the new leader of the national championship. The CPR podium also included Ricardo Teodósio, who once again wasn't on top form on the island, and Ernesto Cunha with a Skoda Fabia Rally2 Evo.
