Today, on 9 October, the FIA World Motor Sport Council approved the 2021 FIA World Rally Championship calendar by which Rally Estonia was confirmed as the official round of one of the most prestigious motorsport series in the world which will be held in Tartu and Southern Estonia already on 15-18 July.
Rally Estonia, held in September this year, was the first global title competition with such a large audience that was organized under COVID-19 conditions and ended without any cases of infection. The fact that the competition organized in Estonia will be in the WRC calendar next year is a great recognition for Estonia as the organizing country.
Mika Lemmetti ajoi voittoon viikonloppuna päättyneessä harrasterallisprintin mestaruussarjassa Saarijärvellä. BMW:llä kilpaileva Lemmetti, 31, voitti luokkansa jokaisessa kauden neljässä osakilpailussa, joten mestaruus tuli maksimipistein.
