On 3-rd of May took place Estonian Championships first round On Laitse Rallycross track. Besides
Estonian drivers also 2 Finns and 1 Russian Federation citizen were participated.
According to pre event registration there were 4 participants in Division 1 class and this round
would have been the best Division 1 class start ever in Estonian Rallycross history. Because of
different reasons only two competitors started – Finns Risto Simonen (Proton Satria Evolution) and
Voito Hassi (Subaru Impreza). Hassi could not fight for the first place because his car has 100
horse powers less than Simonen’s car has and also Hassi said that it was his first rallycross start
ever. Division 1 win went to Risto Simonen.

ERC Junior: Sander Roosimaa (VW Golf), Janno Ligur (Lada Samara), Joosep Hütt (VW Golf).
