Their videos look great but are ruined by always playing music on them so cant hear the cars... :(Quote:

[QUOTE=Ounin;1030455]And previously to that there were big logos of Michelin on his Fiesta WRC.Quote:

i dont know whats our secret, i have also thought about it, lol. But yeah we've always had great talents here since the word "rally" is known i think.
Like you said busy times with Tänak, Pärn, Kruuda, and also Timmu Kõrge is putting his budget together for competing ERC.
Gonna be great season for us Estonians:)
The secret as for Finland is fast swaving gravel roads used for rallies. That makes men out of boys driving on 5th and 6 th gear all the time. In difference from Sweden using very often small twisty roads even in championship rallies.
That's obvious I know that, but you must have an extraordinary good rally climate to persuade sponsors with enough budgets to get started, all depends on popularity of Rally, what's the secret about that
Is still Vatanen head of Estonian's ASN? That might answer some questions about how serious they are.
Yes he is:)Quote:

I think that they doesn't have any tests yet. Unfornately don't know the exact dates on which they will test but probably it will be the week before the rally.Quote:

I'd say the current situation is result of work done years ago.
About the Estonian drivers license thing. You need to have a place of residence in Estonia to obtain a drivers license there and rallying license from Estonian ASN. It's possible to do any international event with Estonian license even if you are below 18, for example Belgian Pieter-Jan-Michiel Cracco drove in Portugal '13 under Estonian flag, while he wasn't 18 years old yet.
Many Estonian drivers lately, indeed. In contrary to the Finns, except for Esapekka Lappi nobody is really there... Are we out of Flying Finns?
I was reading interviews from estonia drivers(i dont remember names)and they were saying that they have started rallying at 12 or 13 years old on small rallies.Under what kind of system they drive??
the person with normal driving licence drives during liaison sections?Quote:

Some years ago there were also so called youth rallies, which were pretty much proper rallies on smaller scale.
Also the ASN has been organising workshop type events for the youngsters. And there are two competition series, one for karting and the other seems to be like precision driving
But I'm not sure how fitting all this talk is under WRC testing.
Here in norway the 16-u18 have a own class (class 20) and starting last in the rallies. They use mostly fiesta st, R2 is not allowed. Fun thing, maybe not for him, ole Christian veiby was faster than most of the guys in front of him (voc and debutants) and still managed to set top 15 times. He got 3rd place in his first rally of 18yrs age in a skoda s2000.
He will do wrc3 in a ds3 r3t next year, and did spain and wales this year. He is going to be fast, and have the right people around him. His father is the ovner of EVENrally, and manager for mikkelsen, tidemand, lappi and dennis olsen.
So less money for the other guys then ... ;(Quote:

Didn´t say it is a problem. Just barely concluded the fact. Maybe more money comes in when having more drivers... I dont know.
