2015, but still counted as a 2011 spec with upgrades.

Bit of BTS for you. At the Tanak movie premiere we went to dinner afterwards. Lots there including Ott, Markko & Malcolm Wilson. There was some chat about him competing but he played it down. I asked if we’d see him in a car again. ‘Yes’ he said ‘To drive home tonight’ ��

I hope we have really interesting battles ahead.
Entry list: https://rallyestonia.com/en/competitors/entries/
(entry-list does not seem to be complete, for example - Katsuta is missing there, but he have announced his participation)
Last year results: https://www.ewrc-results.com/final/4...-estonia-2018/
# WRC
* Ott Tänak is clear favourite, but the same clear is that Lappi, Mikkelsen, Evans and Breen will not make winning easy
* "Pressure" from Breen - it would hit someones ego, when they going to be slower than Breen first time in Hyundai
* "Pressure" from Märtin - if Märtin can be faster than any current WRC driver, they should really consultate with mirror
How fast is Märtin? Noone knows, including Märtin himself.

# R5
* Teemu Suninen (new Ford Fiesta R5)
- Shell Helix Rally Estonia as a first competition for brand new Ford Fiesta R5
https://rallyestonia.com/en/spectato...ford-fiesta-r5
* Oliver Solberg (Volkswagen Polo GTI R5)
- Have been driving in baltics a lot, knows the roads and surface
- 1st in own class (R2) Rally Estonia 2018
* Eerik Pietarinen (new Skoda Fabia R5)
- Won own class in Rally Estonia 2018, 4th overall (faster than Gross and Gorban with WRC cars)
- Won won class in Rally Finland 2018
https://www.ewrc-results.com/final/4...-2018/?sct=222
- Eerik Pietarinen and Juhana Raitanen at Shell Helix Rally Estonia with new Skoda Fabia R5 evo
https://rallyestonia.com/en/spectato...-fabia-r5-evo/
Just Lukyanuk with Citroën C3 R5 is missing from perfect R5 fight. Maybe Huttunun with Hyundai i20 R5 but he have been clearly slower than Pietarinen or Lukyanuk.Last edited by meh; 29th June 2019 at 14:11.

For the WRC drivers it's imo all about testing for everyone except maybe Tänak.
Others will definitely change to different (risky) setups for testing and even get time penalties if needed for extra setup work rather than fight for result.

Suninen in new Fiesta, vs Solberg in Polo, Pietarinen in new Fabia and Gryazin in old Fabia should be a very interesting battle in R5 indeed.
With his experience Suninen should take it but those other cars with those drivers on these roads should be very strong indeed!

Is it confirmed that Gryazin will use "old" Fabia ?
Katsuta with old or new Fiesta ?
Is new Fiesta faster than Fabia EVO ?"quattro best 4wd rallycar ever"

It would be logical for Katsuta to test the new R5, but nothing about that (according to his twitter).
