Competition remains at the front of Rali Vinho da Madeira

Alexandre Camacho continues to lead Rali Vinho da Madeira after the first two Special Stages of the second stage of the event, which has been on the road for two days. The Madeiran driver increased his advantage in the first stage through Câmara de Lobos but the Italian Giandomenico Basso, despite a spin, shortened his delay again in Ponta do Sol. Everything remains open in the race for outright victory. José Pedro Fontes remains in third place, leader of the Portuguese championship and in a Citroën C3 Rally2, but he has Simone Campedelli, in a Skoda Fabia Rally2 Evo, close behind. The Spaniard Diego Ruiloba, as at the end of the first Special Stage, obtained new good times and also approached the top five, which is closed by Ricardo Teodósio.  

Enthusiasm in the RGT Group

The RGT group has been one of the many centres of interest in this 64th edition of the Rali Vinho da Madeira. Gil Freitas took the lead in this group on his debut with the Alpine A110 RGT. Since the middle of the first Special Stage, Filipe Freitas has held the lead with his usual Porsche 997 GT3. The former regional champion remains in command of the class but a good forcing of his main opponent means that, with the second Special Stage to be completed, the first two classified are separated by 8.7 seconds All the participants in this group, which brings together vehicles that make many of the spectators who have been watching in the island's mountains, dream, are still in the race. Ivo Sardinha is in third place, 13.9 seconds behind the leader, while Ivo Sardinha is in immediate position. The Azorean Luis Pimentel closes the caravan.
