Estonia returns this weekend after a year’s break, last season, having been replaced by its neighbouring country, Latvia, in 2024. It is expected to be a fast event with average speeds exceeding 120kph, meaning accurate pace notes are vital.
Last time out, Toyota’s Kalle Rovanpera took victory as the Finnish driver beat Hyundai’s Thierry Neuville and fellow Finn, Esapekka Lappi, to the top spot with the Hyundais finishing in second and third, respectively.
It is expected to be a dry and sunny event, with little chance of rain forecasted this weekend.
The stages are fast with a narrow margin for error: precision will be key, with 308.35km of Estonian terrain to tackle. Friday stands at the shortest day at 1.76km on the opening day, whereas Saturday will be the longest test on the itinerary, with 125.76km to be completed on the third day.

I have put a lot of effort in over the years to keep this website in its best shape and I’ve loved seeing the brand grow consistently, month-on-month, year-on-year. My ambition is to keep watching this brand grow into a primary outlet of news for all things motorsports whilst fueling my desire to pursue a career in sports journalism, specialising in motorsports.
