WRC Promotional event Shell Helix Rally Estonia

[EstWRC]

today there could be an announcement that the rally is cancelled....the problem? money....suddenly Estonian Autosport Union wants a share of it, they say that they are basically left out and they require 100 000 euros from the organizers. Estonian Autosport Union board members dont even hide that they want to fill the union thin pocket with this money.

The rally organizers said they are not able to meet such a requirement by law, the Board of the Estonian Autosport Union imposed an international rally registration fee of EUR 100,000. Given that last year the registration fee was € 2000, it was increased by 5000%.

Aava is sain that they have tired to find a compromise etc but nothing so far.


Also this: "However, it has been understood from the Autosport Union that the withdrawal of the Rally Estonia organizers does not necessarily mean that the top rally will be canceled. The federation may also consider organizing a top rally event itself. It is believed that this can be done in a simpler format and at a lower cost than Rally Estonia."


i would like to see how they would manage it. Aava and his team have a very good reputation among the teams and wrc world and they have a huge experience now.

there is a sayin in estonian that "eestlase lemmiktoit on teine eestlane" meaning "estonian favorite food is another estonian" and it bodes well here.
