[ERC] 2007 Rally Vinho Madeira

[[Madeira-Rally]]

Rally Vinho Madeira was always one of the most important rallys in ERC in previous Years, the competition here is always very important for ERC drivers, because the race is difficult for foreigners drivers.. so.. to win in Madeira, it mus be a good rally driver, and, a victory here, means some "status" in European rallys.

This year there is no big changes in the route, it's almost the same of previous years, only a little details change, but nothing very significant.

For sure this rally will have a nice entry list, people here are expecting a really nice entry list with 20 S2000 cars and some other GR N cars.

There are a few nice drivers that are confirmed, I will post the most important drivers... because the local drivers have good cars (S1600 and Top Gr N cars) but they aren't good enough to fight for a top position.
I will post the ones I think that could do something good on this event.

Yes, Tom, Bruno could be one of the surprises of the rally. I think he will win the portuguese title without major problems, so maybe in Madeira he will not have a big pressure to get a good score for the championship. Peugeot Portugal will prepare this rally to the limit of perfection, Defeat Peugeot Spain, Peugeot Belgium and Fiat could be the great moment of glory of portuguese team!!. Let's wait to see if Bruno can keep the car on the road under a big pressure...
