Rali Vinho Madeira 2010

There's less than two months to this rally, and Im thinking to go yet again this year but I would really like to know if Skoda is going to be there. If they aren't than I shall reconsider my trip since there will only be the usual Peugeout suspects but if they do go I would really try to be their, plus theres the new Evo 2 so I would really like to see it.

Come to Açores instead and you will see two or three Skodas by sure

My god two portuguese guys talking in english!

I believe Skoda are planning Madeira, I am sure one of our Czech friends will tell us more?

**CricketsFilm** · 16th Jun 10, 21:57

Than he must find some extra budget or maybe Škoda could help him.

It would be interesting to know too if Wilks plans to go there, seeing he has to miss Ypres and it would be a good choice for him. He was there last year and that should give him a head start to some other drivers.

Anyone know if he's planning to add Madeira to his programme?!

Drivers who entered with a discount:

Kris Meeke (Peugeout 207 S2000)
Bruno Magalhães (Peugeout 207 S2000)
Daniel Oliveira (Peugeout 207 S2000)
Marco Cavigioli (Fiat Punto S2000)
Burcu Cetinkaya (Peugeout 207 S2000)

To be honest it does not look promising this year.

Really hope to see Basso on Madeira, this is his kind of territory.

I would be surprised if Skoda don't go, they have entered every round so far. The only problem is their drivers don't have any experience there, unless they sent Loix and Vouilloz....

**Madeira** · 21st Jun 10, 08:35

According the official website Skoda Motorsport will be here with Jan Kopecky and Hanninen. They have made the registration with discount!!. My doubt if there is a kind of provisional entry...

**Francis44** · 21st Jun 10, 09:55

Yes I've read it on the site now, that's great news as they are my favourite team in IRC, my favourite car and drivers.

**PLuto** · 21st Jun 10, 11:03

Yes, Skoda Motorsport changed plans and will be on Madeira.

Don't forget the locals, Vitor Sà and Miguel Nunes

Well it's now confirmed that Loix will be there too, just booked flights on Easyjet, 2 passes for about 300 euros, best deal considering Tap is charging 400 euros for just one ticket. I will be arriving July 31st, should be a great week.

RS · 2nd Jul 10, 13:16

I imagine we could see Sarrazin on Madeira; he is doing some asphalt testing in mid-July....

**Madeira** · 4th Jul 10, 21:46

According local Tv, Luca Betti will be here.

**Francis44** · 4th Jul 10, 22:19

Just heard that Camacho was supposed to enter with a Skoda Fabia S2000 but a sponsor said no, Pitty.

**Francis44** · 10th Jul 10, 13:21

The rally is in danger according to a RTP (local television).

The company running the transport boat has made some requests in order to transport the cars, they want the boat to be fully rented.

I've always said that no concurrence means those kind of problems.

The rally is less than a month away, let's see if they can fix this issue.

**Madeira** · 11th Jul 10, 14:28

well, I do not believe that rally is in danger, in this moment there is some business pressure but we will have a happy end...I guess!
