Entry list

 Approved by the FIA and the FPAK, the entry list for the 2026 Rali da Madeira has been published.

The Organising Committee has decided not to exclude any competitor with a valid entry, meaning that 86 competitors are expected to attend the administrative and technical scrutineering.

Despite requests from the Organising Committee, none of the entrants with cars whose FIA homologation had expired expressed a wish to withdraw their entry from the event.

This number exceeds the maximum limit of 75 entrants set out in the event’s Specific Regulations, and it was necessary to issue an amendment to establish a new limit of 90 entrants.

Accordingly, the entry list and the numbers allocated to competitors comply with FIA and FPAK rules and regulations, specifically Article 12.3.3 of the 2026 FIA Regional Rally Sporting Regulations, which stipulates that at the 2026 Rali da Madeira “there are two separate competitions, with specific regulations and distinct entry forms. The national competition will take place after the FIA Championship rally”.

Competitors with cars bearing valid FIA homologation will be entered in both FIA and FPAK competitions. All other competitors will be entered solely in the FPAK competition.

In view of the above, competitors with numbers 1 to 57 are those entered with cars bearing valid FIA homologation and who will be included in Rali da Madeira, which counts towards the 2026 FIA European Rally Trophy. Competitors with numbers 60 to 89 will also be eligible, but only for the FPAK event.
