Hugo Lopes is the leader of the Peugeot Rally Cup, a mono-brand competition that includes users of the French manufacturer's 208 Rally4 model, after completing the first special stage of the event organised by Club Sports da Madeira. The driver, who benefited from the retirements, both due to crashes, of Vítor Sá and Miguel Garcia, who until then had been ahead of him in the standings, has a lead of 48.0 seconds over Unai de la Dehesa. In third place is João Sousa from Madeira.

On his debut with the Toyota GR Yaris Rally2, Alexandre Camacho, third overall, is the best-placed Madeiran competitor in the 65th edition of the Rali Vinho Madeira, which has been on the road since yesterday and will conclude tomorrow, 3 August. In the "regional competition", the next best positions are held by Miguel Nunes and Miguel Caires, both in Skoda Fabia Rally2 Evo.

Diego Ruiloba, driving a Citroën C3 Rally2, is the leader of Rali Vinho da Madeira, having completed the first stage of the event organised since 1959 by Club Sports da Madeira. The Spanish driver has a lead of 10.7 seconds over Armindo Araújo, at the wheel of a Skoda Fabia RS Rally2. The lowest place on the podium at this stage of the race is occupied by Alexandre Camacho from Madeira, who is making his debut in this event in a Toyota GR Yaris Rally2. Fourth place goes to Miguel Nunes, in his usual Skoda Fabia Rally2 Evo, followed by José Pedro Fontes, in a Citroën C3 Rally2, and Ricardo Teodósio in a Hyundai. Rali Vinho da Madeira returns to the road tomorrow for the third and final day of competition, when the caravan will make a double round through Câmara de Lobos, Ponta do Sol, Calheta and Rosário.
