Where did he get the info?

I don’t find anything on Rally Estonia page etc

No announcements today

All 2021 Saturday stages are now run on Friday.
Peipsiääre is now 1 km longer. This is the stage where Kalle made a huge time last year.
Mustvee is 5 km longer
Raanitsa is 1 km shorter
Vatsemoisa is the same

Neeruti and Elva are moved from Sunday to Saturday, lengths are similar
Otepää is moved from Friday to Saturday, length is similar
Mäeküla was run in 2020, not in 2021, now 4 km shorter. This is in place of the Arula stage, which has been partly on same roads.

Raadi is probably last year's horrible power stage, length is similar
Kanepi is moved from Friday to Sunday, length is similar. This is the stage where Tänak went off.
Kambja is moved from Friday to Sunday is again the power stage like in 2020. Length is a bit shorter and we've been told there's a new ending.

Seems like less new than last year, but it's fine after changing almost everything last year. And of course there could be direction changes or other surprises under the same title. I liked most of last year's stages, but sad to see the dreadful Raadi stage still retaining...

Hi, I plan to arrive at the rally Estonia this year. I have a question about rally passes. Looks like it can't be sent to another country. Will it be possible to buy them in Otepaa during the rally? Will their price rise over time?

Hi! I just checked and it seems that they send to other countries (see the screenshot link below. I chose Germany just as an example but also Finland etc were available). I'm like 99% sure that there will be some option that you could buy the pass during the event. It would be a bad business decision for the organizers for not doing so. I think many people just decide based on the mood, weather etc. Maybe someone who knows how it was last year can confirm that. And I don't believe that the price would increase. The ticket is already quite expensive and I can't imagine it going higher. But anyway, hope you get your ticket and welcome!

Betsafe podcast with Rally Estonia organizers.

- the spectating is more free this year. They say kinda like in Rally Finland with long spectating areas but There will be traffic jams because it’s more free to move
- 2 stages only exactly identical to last year, the others have been changed more or less
- Russian and Belarusian drivers won’t be allowed to participate, also with neutral flags. It’s not Rally Estonia decision but goes back to higher sport unions decision in Estonia in general
- Trucks are not allowed to participate in national class during the rally because FIA doesn’t like the lines they create. This is also the reason why Vanagas hasn’t been the zero car with his Dakar car, crowd loved it but FIA doesn’t
- Peipsiääre will have amazing jumps in the beginning of the stage according to Urmo. Also they changed the way the cars enter the Selgise quarry
- Aava expects the average to be 106km/h. Last year was 109
- The spectator app will show you traffic, how many parking spots there will be and etc
- The power stage finish will be exactly at lake Leigo. The podium will be in the middle of the lake
