Rali Vinho da Madeira is a race with unique characteristics and this condition usually forces competitors into private test sessions in order to find the best settings for the island's tarmac in advance. This way, the entry into the competition on Thursday can already be made with the maximum exploitation of the vehicles' potential.

Yesterday, 28 July, the Befast team was in the mountains of Ribeira Brava, and today it was Pedro Meireles' turn to drive in the Galeão area of São Roque. There are many similar sessions scheduled for the next few days by the most varied teams.
