WRC stars set for final Finland warm-up in Estonia
Ott Tänak and Thierry Neuville will complete a final dress rehearsal for the FIA World Rally Championship’s only pure winter round at Saturday’s Otepää Talveralli in Estonia.
The Hyundai Motorsport pair completed a day’s running each in Lapland last week, fine-tuning the set-up of their i20 WRC ahead of Arctic Rally Finland Powered by CapitalBox (26 - 28 February). On Saturday they get an additional day’s driving at the Estonian Championship event.
The one-day competition, based close to the special stages used on last year’s inaugural WRC-counting Rally Estonia, features four stages run twice – two in the morning and two in the afternoon. They add up to 84km of competition.
