At the passage by Ponta do Pargo and Rosário, Miguel Nunes reinstated order by enlarging his lead in this Rally Vinho da Madeira, by winning both Special Stages. Pedro Paixão felt some difficulties with the engine of his Skoda Fabia R5 and lost a lot of time in Rosário.That allowed Alexandre Camacho to ascend to second place, now at almost 20 seconds behind the leader. Paixão manages, this way, to mantain a place at the podium, but is dependent of the performance of the drivers behind him.

Bruno Magalhães, the best driver of the portuguese championship, is now back at being fourth, after having changed places with José María López, who overcame the Portuguese driver in the previous Special Stage. At sixth place, João Silva lost some time with a punctured tyre, but is still holding on to some leverage over José Pedro Fontes, who has been occupied with a tight duel with Armindo Araújo. Closing the top ten are still Ricardo Teodósio and Pedro Meireles. Gil Freitas keeps his eleventh position, the best amongst the RGT group, in a phase in which there are still four Special Stages missing, the second round of the Special Stages' routes of this morning.
