The Clerk of the Course of Rali Vinho da Madeira has awarded José Pedro Fontes, at the wheel of a Citroën C3 Rally2, a time of 1.37.4 in Cidade do Funchal, a mark that guarantees the driver second place at this stage of the race. This is justified by the time lost by the winner of this race in 2016 due to the problems experienced by Kris Meeke, the driver who preceded him through the opening timed section. Diego Ruiloba is in fourth place and Miguel Nunes is fifth.
