    The 3-day event will keep the whole family entertained with unbeatable fan experience in the rally world. By implementing innovative solutions the rally will be made even more convenient and safe for the spectators to watch from the spectator areas. The start and finish ceremony will take place on the territory of the Estonial National Museum in Tartu, where also Service Park and Rally HQ are located and a Special Stage is run on 2 days.
    Happy for you man!

    Great news for Estonia and to finally see something good come out of the Covid-19 nightmare.

    Hope it all works out successfully and safely for the organisers, fans and Estonian people.

    since i got interested in motorsport (25 years ago), i have had 3 motorsport dreams: 1) estonian becoming WRC champ 2) a WRC round in Estonia 3) estonian reaching Formula 1 (i dont even care about the results, getting to F1 would alone be history for us)

    if the WRC round indeed is announced today, then 2 out of those 3 dreams have been coming true and our formula talent Jüri Vips has a very good change to get to F1 next year.

    all this seemed impossible to me 25 years ago...hell, even 10 years ago.
    To third point, British F3 2007 champion Marko Asmer could have had a good chance to make a great F1 career as being official BMW Sauber F1 test driver in 2008. BMW was 3rd in F1 constructors' championship 2008, so just if Marko could have had a chance to race with the car.

    In Estonia, 2020 situation:
    - Current WRC champions - Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja
    - part of Toyota Gazoo Racing
    - RedGrey - company (Markko Märtin and Ott Tänak) providing running R5 cars service for Hyundai
    - Additionally lives in Estonia (but not full time / as only home): Kalle Rovanperä, Teemu Suninen, Tommi Mäkinen

    .. and now, level up with official WRC event. Really happy for Urmo Aava and Co for getting their dream achieved (or at the moment, opportunity to do that).
