Thanks Madeira.

And some news about pilots can be there ? Or only more late ?

I heard some noise about Rene Georges want to be there with one or two VW.

I see the Portugal Rally , you too ? Sincerely i expect more , few,few public on stages :confused: .

You think the list can be better than Portogallo ?

When i went to Madeira in 2001 the stages have many , many people. People lives even the Rally.

Which the stages you think are good ? In 2001 i see Santi di Serra, Rifarta and the best Encomiada !!!!

Best regards.

About drivers, only rumours...nothing else. Enrique Garcia Ojeda and Rene Georges are a possibility but is too early to say more. We need to wait for the day of rally. Here everything can happen but in the last few years there are less money to spent with drivers prizes. I think it is impossible to have a better entry list than Rally of Portugal. they have spent lot of money because they had an important support from Portuguese government and in this moment there are some political problems between Madeira government and Portuguese government. By the other side, as you know we have extra costs to bring the rally to the island...

About the people, yes I think you will find here more passion and more people in stages but I'm not absolutely sure if it will be more that you found in 2001. it was the WRC era!!

About the better places to see the rally. Yes basically the rally is the same, so you can see once again in the Santo da Serra (http://www.ralivm.com/depot/galleryPhotos/1803-ojeda.jpg) and Referta (Campo de golfe stage) in the first day, and Saturday The Stage of Rosário very close to the finish of the stage you have a good place (http://www.ralivm.com/depot/galleryPhotos/737-C37A0762.jpg) , but be careful, you will find to many spectators

If you want additional help, please contact me!

It will be difficult to have a better entry list than Rally de Portugal..

Rally de Portugal organizers spend a lot of money bringing 6 / 7 cars....

In Madeira organization use to pay for 1 / 2 cars...

Other editions Madeira have a nice entry list , why this year not possible ? :(

Once this year i'm going to Madeira , government ruin the Rally .

But well , i think at least 10-15 S2000.

Madeira is a Europe and IRC Rally , people like the rally and i think is the rally with many spectators of all season. Not ?

It's sad to know that politics can spoil one of the best things that Madeira's had.

There is more news about it say anything.

Well, I did not say that we will have a poor entry list, I've said that Rally of Portugal had much more money to spend in comparison with us...part of our budget goes for IRC/Eurosport and other logistic issues. Do you have an idea how much cost to organize a rally with this dimension in a island? Do you have an idea how much cost for any team to bring all of their competitive resources during a week?. Too much money... When I told you about the support that was given for portuguese government to the Rally of Portugal it was because Í'm not sure that the local authorities will have the same ability to make a similar effort and for now Madeira island is part of Portugal!!
For sure, if you come here you will see 10/15 S2000 in action showing an intense pace, friendly people, good food and nice hotels!

As I said I was already there on 2001 or 2002 , the people , stages , temperature , entry list and the island . That's why i'll return.

My wife is portuguese and i know Portogallo and Madeira relatively well.I know well your difficulties in the transport of cars , logistic and other things.

I think is not a real,real problem. Organization has accustomed us with a big and very good events.That's why i go there.

Now ....without support from the government can be a serious problem.

But if you say that we have 10/15 S2000 , not bad.

Now ....without support from the government can be a serious problem.

But if you say that we have 10/15 S2000 , not bad.

We will have the support from the government, but the own government from here....maybe this support should not be too high as Rally of Portugal had this year..it is question of more money for someone and less for the others. All of this explanation was given because you ask me if we have any chance to see in Rally Vinho Madeira the same level of the drivers like in Portugal, and I told you that is a little bit difficult that this can happen...but is not impossible!

About the number of S2000, we can make these accounts:

Portuguese drivers

Bruno Magalhães-Peugeot 207 S2000
Alexandre Camacho-Peugeot 207 S2000
Vitor Pascoal-Peugeot 207 S2000
Vitor Sá-Peugeot 207 S2000
José Pedro Fontes-Fiat Punto S2000
Nuno Barroso Pereira-Fiat Punto S2000

Foreigners drivers

F Loix- Peugeot 207 S2000
Nicolas Vouilloz-Peugeot 207 S2000
Brice Tirabassi-207 S2000
Giandomenico Basso-Fiat Punto S2000
Anton Alen-Fiat Punto S2000
Corrado Fontana-Fiat Punto S2000
Volkan Isik-Fiat Punto S2000
Dani Solà- Fiat Punto S2000

So I believe that 14 S2000 are almost sure

There are this doubts, but I believe that drivers will come:
Jan Kopecky- Peugeot 207 S2000
Luca Rossetti-Peugeot 207 S2000
Renato Travaglia- Fiat Punto S2000

Rumours:
Enrique Garcia Ojeda-Peugeot 207 S2000

So my bet are 15/18 S2000 this year at least!! lets wait. Is too early!!

Yes, this is another doubt that I have. In the beginning of the season I think Rally Vinho Madeira was not in his plans, he never was very competitive here, but now looking on his website it seems he has changed the plans...but I'm not sure. Maybe any polish member can clarify this situation..

He only stopped his career in the Madeira rally championship...It was a strange decision of Vitor!!

I asked two weeks ago in Sezoensrally for the plans of Casier this season. Casier confirmed he will drive in Madeira and Barum and if these two rallies are good, they will also drive in Sanremo and Rallye du Valais. ;)

Madeira really ? Sousa out ? I'm very suprised with him , sometimes remember me the Gigi.

I see him on Portogallo and his perfomance are very good on 1st round.

Why Sousa go to Finland ? Doesn't run on Portuguese Championship ?

It's a bad notice , i like to see Sousa skills.

Fine. Thank you Wim_Impreza by your report.
Last year Bernd Casier did an interesting rally for his first time here. He had a fierce battle with Corrado Fontana until the end of the rally. He defeat Corrado by 3,3 seconds and took 6th overall position...

Is not confirmed yet that Bernardo will be in Finland. Yes he are doing the portuguese championship. I have my theory about this situation, but I will keep silence about that....because is only personal speculation!!

Sure that Bernardo could be one of the most spetacular drivers in action, but I have no idea if during a single stage or the whole rally....!!

Or: Madeira is on the wish list from Casier and a top-driver from Madeira...

In Azores he will be present , ya ?

Why don't start on Madeira ?

Bad , bad notice.

But well , 11 S2000 at now , confirmed in Madeira.

Fontana and Solowow will be there , cause is a ERC Rally and everybody need points.

About Bernardo Sousa there are some details about this situation. He had some contacts to drive one of the Polos from Renes Georges, and he tried to get some support from the Rally Vinho Madeira organization.The answer was NO!! He stayed very angry and decided no compete this year!!


Giandomenico Basso,Anton Alen,Volkan Isik, Bruno Magalhães, are the first names enrolled for the rally!!

Today was held on of the rounds of Madeira Rally Championship. The zero car was driven by Bruno Magalhães and the 00 car was driven by José Pedro Fontes. They come to prepare the next Rally Vinho Madeira, specially the stages in the north of the island!

The Sousa question is different. What do you think about the support for Bernardo Sousa in relation of other local drivers for example...??? Bernardo Sousa Is doing the Portuguese Championship, Rally Vinho Madeira is part of his program, can imagine you the reaction of the other contenders of Portuguese Championship...? In nowadays our organization have not too much money to spend in prizes for drivers and teams!!. Let's wait!!

Yeah N.O.T i know that.

Souza is a local pilot , spectacular pilot , run in the PWRC .

I don't if this true but local people seems don't like him . I have portuguese friends , my wife is portuguese and i live a few months per year on Portugal and i know Madeiras very well , is the feeling that I am when i listen portuguese people.

I think people should not forget that Souza takes the name of Madeira Island to the highest "stage" of the World the WRC Champ.

It seems the organization have money to other "contacts" , less for the local pilot. It's good for Rossetti , but really really bad and sad for Souza and spectators like "Gigi Galli style" , still on top with a S2000 car, even if it were the René.

I think the René Georges is with a new team and structure and provide a much better service for their customers.



I had never seen something like that.

Well anybody here can write his name on Youtube and see the Videos,the first thought that comes to my mind is Gigi some years before , now Gigi is more cautious but still spectacular. That's why i say Souza have a Gigi style.

Yeah i believe when you say most people like him compared with people don't like. But when you talk about Araujo every people say it's fabulous , wonderful and a lot of things.I believe that , but Araujo is a National Champion , do the PWRC for second time and have 27 28 years old.
Bernardo have 21,22 .... run on PWRC for the first time and makes better results , more faster and spectacular than Araujo , when i saw is result on Greece , for his first time i can't believe !!!!! Spectacular , aggressive but always within the limits to reach the end. Who was on the road knows what I am talking about.
The rumour that i heard is ...... Araujo goes to Madeira and Organization pay!!!!!He have a Pass on Finland too.

When you say "Sousa must have the same condition as all other Portuguese drivers... " , im sorry mate but i can't agree with you.
Bernardo is the future , needs more support than any other Portuguese pilot. This if Portugal wants a World Top 5 Pilot.

Ronaldo and Mourinho are much more arrogant than anyone but the people there love them.

Anyway , i want a rally as good like the Organization has accustomed the fans cause I already bought my "ticket" and I have everything marked.

About Bernardo, of course he is a pure talent, I would like to see him driving in the next rally vinho Madeira, but personaly I agree 100% with the decision of organization. For most of you it is not easy to understand why....but I think it was a good decision...!!

Well, They will pass in Encumeada in the first Leg (Friday) and second leg (saturday). But pay attention the name of this stage is Serra D' Água in Day one and they will sart in South and go to the north. In day two the name of this stage is Rosário, and they came from North to the south. This is the most carismatic stage of rally, In saturday (Rosário) there are lot of people t, it is important to see the cars when they go down on the stage. there are many places. I suggest you the last hairpin very close to the finish line but too many people, but good atmosphere...
I think it is possible to see four stages in Day one... For Campo de Golfe, you can choose Santo da Serra or Portela. The next stage Terreiros, you can go to the Poiso, Terreiro da Luta or Choupana...In the friday afternoon you can choose Serra D'Água, (North), Boaventura(North but far away), or the new stage Santana, and I don't now very well where is exactly...
Saturday:

Like I said , You have two more, You must Choose one of them. The best is Rosário, but lot of Traffic, people and hot weather!
Chão da Lagoa is very close to Funchal, is the same stage that they made in the first day (terreiros) but in reverse order. They will pass in Poiso...
Paul and Ponta do Pargo hummmm, I don't now...
I think you must know a detailed route to rich the stages...
6/7 stages is the minimum... If you want more only with a rally car!!

CEO, If you prefer I can send for you an email in Portuguese language, and your wife could make a translation about your questions!

If you say the decision of organization is the best, well you know better than me certainly :D

I understand the basic information of your explanation but in these matters sometimes only the basics is not enough. Like you know my english not my best skill.

I appreciated if you can do that. I send my email to your private box. When you have some time , translate the post to portuguese , next my wife explain in italian. Then it's easier for me to find the roads and places I will no longer there , I have an idea of the streets, but as you know there are many, small , more bigger , roundabouts , increases, decreases.. etc etc... and i miss me :D

I asked Casier yesterdag on his Ypres Test...he don't start in Madeira because his co-driver is starting in Finland with Molder...that program was 100% this winter and he don't want that his co-driver to break with Molder for this season....
Normaly Casier wouldn't drive this year and so his co arranged a programme with Molder this winter

and the money....that's also an option, I think that it would be a "little bit" of the 2 ;)

Mirek , the stone was placed there on purpose was not? Who could have been that?

I think if the Kopecky will not go to Madeira, not go to Russia too. To choose any of them will be the Madeira Wine cause it is farther away and gives time to turn everything ok.

Is very strange the stone appears only for him.
Voillouz (if I am not mistaken) passed there before and was nothing on the road and moreover, according the stone was in a strategic area.
Very Very strange and sad.

In his press statement , he said something about future participations on IRC ?

And if the Casier achieved a 4 th place in Ypres, who tells me that the Souza in his house would not be more competitive for the rally that Snijers ,although a really great driver ?

I think the Organizations have this point of view. Regardless of Snijers be a huge pilot compared with Souza.

The luck did not seem to have been on the side of the young pilot Madeiran what is the proof of the 4 th National Rally Championship and evidence before the Madeira Wine Rally, the Rally Sata Azores. After completing the 12 th special 6 of a good stand, Bernardo Sousa has been a victim of the random number since in 13 th proof particular, Ribeira Grande, the pilot of Red Bull was unable to prevent an outflow of road and that the reason for their abandonment .

The young pilot: "In a curve to the left rear of the car got out and failed to prevent the mass grave was. Contrary to what had happened yesterday, this time - to be a mass grave deeper - has become impossible to remove the car and return to the road ... The car was good, in mechanical terms there was nothing that prevents us from continuing. It was more annoying ...". Still Madeira desafaba that the pilot: "It seems that this evidence does not want anything on me. We have always some chance that prevents us from the finish. I am sad because it is a proof that I like and had a special liking to finish ...". On yesterday Sousa had already lost much time due to have been jammed into a kerb, today the lucky not to want to come back with nothing Madeiran pilot giving so complete, earlier, his participation in land Azores. It is hoped better luck in the Rally of Finland.

So, who is the fastest Madeiran now?

The fastest man is clearly Alexandre Camacho (ftp://mirrors.netmadeira.com/pub/Videos/Rali/Videos2008/Testes/ralismadeira-testesalexandrecamachopedrocalado.wmv) . Vitor Sá has showed some difficultties to follow him...

NOT, I am from Madeira and I have almost the same opinion as you about the organization...
but this time, organization is clean... the guilty of this case is a guy from a local website who announced Ojeda, Pons, etc...

Currently we have 2 websites about rallys in Madeira... and he looks like they are in a competition to see who have more decent news.. and sometimes this happens... in this case both sites wrote the same... that Ojeda and Pons should come to the rally...
I think that they were a possibility as the chairman of the rally said.. but nothing was confirmed.. and yesterday he said that they souldn't come because they ask a lot of money...

Press should be carefull when they announce something.. but unfortunately they don't have...

This season on the Madeira Rally Championship without any kind opposition Alexandre Camacho has beaten some stages records. He has the technical support from Peugeot Portugal, but I don't now if he will show a consistent pace along the rally, by the other side I think Bruno's Peugeot is a little bit more competitive than the local car...I'm sure that you will appreciate the style driving of Camacho...

Yes good knowledge of terrain Karlzoro, you are right, the last corner is in Serra D'Água (http://www.ralivm.com/depot/galleryPhotos/1862-travaglia2.jpg) whose stage is "Rosário" (http://www.ralivm.com/depot/galleryPhotos/1862-ojeda3.jpg). (Saturday). In that stage but from the top of mountain you can move into Paul Da Serra, but you need to walk 2 or 3 km to the end of the stage. But if you prefer you can also move from the same road (Paul) and go to "Santa do Porto Moniz" (20 minutes driving the car) to see the final of Ponta do Pargo stage, but is not too much spectacular
No, Alexandre Camacho has not any brother making rallys!!

The ecological park is nice to take some photos. This year they will pass there twice in first Leg for down and twice in the end of the second leg for up.
Well, If you want to move for a palce to another I think is better to choose other stage..specially on friday.
"...Does anyone know some place in the rally like the finish of the stage in Aque de Serra???? With nice passages and a lovely atmosphere??"

Maybe Santo da Serra, " Campo de Golfe stage and Referta stage"..for friday!

Saturday my advice is Rosário in the end of the stage, at least one run, the other you can move to Funchal e go to the the last one of the rally..." Chão da Lagoa"

It wasn't so fantastic, his race in Valais. He beated Loix for third place but he was never in the race for the overall win. Loix was driving a privatly entered Punto, while Scandola was running in an official Punto, entered by Abarth, so it is not that muich of an achiefment. I think if his results were so good last year, then why was he sacked by Fiat for this year's IRC-championship? I think Alen deserve's more changes to show his speed in tarmac rounds. He was quite fast in Barum last year during first day, untill he had to retire. ;)

Scandola was strong in Valais and Sanremo as well last year. Anyway, he is Abarth test driver, as far as I know.

yeah, in my car...maybe you will hear "radio commentator flees from the emission live"...

The shakedown will start in a few minutes. Maybe some teams won't be there. Peugeot Belgium has made a private test this morning, and Loix did a small hit and broken a wheel.

Hi friends.
What a great shakedown. Sure it doens't count for anything but we have some nice stadings from the principal drivers.

For now, its beem exciting because the portuguese Bruno Magalhães has the best times, however Renato Travaglia is very close (0,2 seg).
The first 13 drivers are seperated by 5 seconds.

Basso is in 8ª, however he is experimenting some solutions in punto S2000.

PS: Unfortunately, my pc has the sound plates broken, so i can't hear the radio.

The Portuguese television RTP-N and RTP-M (http://www.rtp.pt) will show live the sss, tomorow evening, but I do not believe that they will give the images on the internet. Only for Portugal... you must try to search by satellite broadcast but I'm not sure...


In the morning, in the private test of Peugeot, the small off was made by Vouilloz and not by Loix. My excuses for the mistake...

Hi.
In 2 hours the rally is about to start with the special stage in Funchal (named Avenida do Mar).

In the last hours there has been a great excitment expectating the rally.

LAST DEVELOPMENTS:
nº30 - Rui Pinto had some problems in the verifications. It seemes that the legal documents of the Mitsubishi Lancer EVO IX, weren't that legal. The officials advised that wanted to see the original documents as soon as possible. Meanwhile he can do the first stage, but with warning.

In the Verifications Marco Cavigioli has taken some company... Excellence Company, as you can seen on the first photos:
http://www.fotosralis.online.pt/fotosrvmv08/

Finally, the safety car (0 Car) driven by the portuguese driver MEX, was presented. A beautiful PORSCHE 911 GT3:
