seems nobody cares about this rally, 2 pages of posts, lol

There's not really been so much to discuss.

The top ERC regulars / contenders either went off, struggled badly or had damage and lost time from early on.

The main battle was just between two locals, neither of whom are doing the ERC Season.

Also Tanak's big crash mystery distracted us on the first day.

Linnamae with super performance at power stage won.

[Lead]

Insane win!

what a PS stage from Linnamäe, im actually surprised he managed to do the rally with this pace without the mistakes.

But more credit to Virves, his seat time with the machine is nothing compared to Linnamäe and his budget.

Does Estonia have overabundance problem? I was surprised hearing about Virves budget struggles but you seems to have many young drivers with similar potential, competing for local funding.

I was watching the whole rally through results, live and tracking. And I must say it is better to be on site than follow it only through computer. Few times I came also here, but as there were no messages, there was nothing to discuss.

But generally it was nice rally with nice fights on all positions. And it showed how important is starting order. Bad QS can ruin your chances for good result.

And weather changes were also very important this year. Switching from sunny to rain conditions just before start of QS and also before Power Stage...

If you look into WRC2 and you will look closely from where the funding comes, you will understand...

I was away from computers but followed it from phone.

I have a bit of mixed feelings - was it a really impressive drive and fight from Linnamäe and Virves or did all ERC regulars underperform? At the moment I take the first option. I'm clad that both reach the finish. From getting the funding for next starts, it would be better when Virves got the win.

When I was following the event, I have feeling that if current Rally1 drivers arrive to Estonia and compete with Rally2 cars, I dont think that half of them would be on same pace or faster...
