Laura Ferreira is the driver of what is likely to be the only female entry in the 66th edition of Rali da Madeira. A race in which she intends to "reach the finish line. We're not going in with our eyes on the results. We have to forget about our crash in the Ribeira Brava Rally and regain our confidence in the car. We have to make the “ghosts” disappear... In this scenario, anything extra is welcome.

First and foremost, we want everything to go well and a good rally for everyone. We hope to have good momentum and that we can overcome the many difficulties facing the competitors. We are taking extra care in preparing for the event as the stages are longer and the rally itself is more extensive. I'm going to make a dream come true!"

Laura Ferreira is 26 years old and took her first steps in motorsport in 2023 with a Toyota Yaris. In the same car, last year she competed in hill climbs and two rallies. In 2025, she is behind the wheel of a Renault Clio Rally5, navigated by her sister Inês who, being younger, had to obtain special authorisation from the Portuguese Motor Racing and Karting Federation to hold a sports licence.
