    What I have learned is that the Estonian Autosport Union board is shocked that the event got cancelled and they are having a meeting in the beginning of next week to find a solution that there would still be a international rally (hopefully held by Aava and co). As most of the board have rally background they feel that they have screwed up (a bit) and they didn't believe it would go so far. Also the rally fans are fuming and giving all kinds of shit to them. Aava says that the decision is final and there would be no RE or anything similar held by them.

    - EAL required to show budget and show all finances which was declined by Aava & Co
    - after all these years of support he requires an apology from Aava and then he is willing to support the rally
    - believes RE problems of finding budget
    - has promised multiple times to help, also lobby the EAL board to remove the 100 000 € fee (buy they needed to see finances and budget)
    Etc etc

    Just went to shop to grab some popcorn because today Rally Estonia (Urmo Aava) and Estonian Autosport Union (Oleg Gross) will sit down together and give an interview. Hopefully will get fireworks and of course some answers to the accusations from each side. Going to be interesting!

    Basically nothing new.. Gross don't/can't understand why the rally is cancelled and is now ready to sit down again, to hold the rally.. Aava said that, he don't want to do worse rally than last year.. and as they have organised many years, they know by their experiences that if they start to rush now, the result will be like a local rally..

    It ended somehow like that

    Gross/EAL feat. Justin Bieber - Sorry

    Yeah, I know that I let you down
    Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?
    Ooh, ooh
    I'll take every single piece of the blame if you want me to
    But you know that there is no innocent one in this game for two
    I'll go, I'll go and then you go, you go out and spill the truth
    Can we both say the words and forget this?

    They would also have an issue this year with the Safari being run at the same weekend where RE was last year.

    This was already solved and it would have been 1 week after Safari (16-19 Jul). Rally Estonia 24-26 of July.
    Quite tight but as I understood there were preliminary agreements with teams and the were fine with it.
