關於: This classic asphalt event takes place against the beautiful backdrop of the island of Madeira, with flowers and spectacular views at every turn. Thousands of spectators crowd the streets of Funchal for the spectator superspecial that is a highlight of the event. The Rali Vinho da Madeira is a classic asphalt course held against the stunningly beautiful backdrop of the island of Madeira, Portugal. It is the single largest sporting event on the island, attracting thousands of people each year. It's first edition was back in 1959 and it later entered the European Rally Championship in 1979, where it has remained ever since. It has played a part in the Intercontinental Rally Challenge since its inaugural year in 2006. The stages of Chao da Lagoa, Paul da Serra and the Encumeada downhill are known as its biggest driving challenges. Several drivers of international note such as Ari Vatanen, Henri Toivonen, Massimo Biasion and Andrea Aghini have won this rally before going on to win World Rally Championship rounds and championships. Interestingly the event is named after the Madeira Wine, a fortified Portuguese wine made in the Madeira Islands. The wine is produced in a variety of styles ranging from dry wines which can be consumed on their own as an aperitif, to sweet wines more usually consumed with dessert.
