Some really pointless press release in my opinion. So basically what they are saying that the idea to organize Dirtfish Rally wasn't because they saw an opportunity for WRC event but as the FIA is looking for organizers who could potentially do it, then they will give their best to make it happen.


In recent days, there have been various speculations in the media as if Rally DirtFish were to become the stage of the FIA ​​World Rally Championship.

These speculations are not true here, Rally DirtFish has not claimed such status and did not intend to become the stage of the current season of the FIA ​​World Rally Championship.

The idea of ​​organizing Rally DirtFish was born with the desire to continue the tradition of organizing top-level competitions in Estonia, to create attractive conditions suitable for WRC teams for development and training activities, and to bring world-class motorsport home to Estonian rally fans.

Both the International Motorsport Federation and the national federations and rally organizers are looking for ways and means to continue organizing the season, taking into account the current restrictions and precautions arising from COVID-19.

In connection with this, a situation has arisen where Estonia is considered to be one of the possible venues for the WRC stage. The local motorsport community is working to make this plan a reality. Both Rally DirtFish and the Estonian Motorsport Association (EAL) fully support the idea and initiative to bring the official World Cup stage to the homeland of the reigning world rally champion Ott Tänak.
