The adrenaline-fueled ERC Rally Estonia will start tomorrow

 

The European Rally Championship Rally Estonia 2024 will take place on the scenic roads of Tartu and South Estonia this weekend (July 5 to 7). After a seven-year hiatus, the rally returns to the European Rally Championship calendar as the fourth stage of the season, promising an exhilarating weekend for motorsport enthusiasts and tourists alike. 

The event kicks off tomorrow (Friday, July 5), with the opening of the Service Park and EXPO at Tehvandi Sports Center in Otepää. The day includes qualification stages and a grand opening show in Tartu Town Hall Square, featuring performances by Stefan and Liis Lemsalu. Spectators can also meet top ERC and Estonian drivers for autographs. 

On July 6, the rally continues with multiple special stages around Otepää and the surrounding regions. The day’s excitement extends into the evening with a concert by 5 MIINUST and Puuluup at Elva Central Square.

Saturday also features the children’s race series “Särtsukas” in Otepää, where kids aged 2 to 9 compete on electric balance bikes and E-motors. The event includes fun activities like face painting, a bouncy castle, and test rides on Husqvarna bikes.

Sunday, July 7, sees the culmination of the rally with final stages around Otepää, leading to the podium ceremony at Tartu Town Hall Square. The day wraps up with a concert by Bryan Adams at the Tartu Song Festival Grounds, providing a spectacular end to the weekend.
