One of the most exciting fights in this edition of the Rally Vinho da Madeira is the one being dueled between Vítor Sá and Rui Jorge Fernandes for the triumph in the RC3 group, as well as the lead amongst users of front wheel driving cars. Particularly in this second one, the Renault Clio R3T driver dived strongly into this Special Stage, and, in two Special Stages managed to recover 5.2 of the 12.3 that separated these competitors Saturday morning.

On his turn, in the RGT group,Gil Freitas has revealed himself unable to shorten the distance separating him from Filipe Freitas, who has been the long standing leader in this category. André Silva is leader at the RC4 with atmospheric engines,evne though, in Câmara de Lobos, Adruzilo Lopes almost equaled the leader's marc in the standings.
