WRC Rally Estonia 2025

 

One of the official World Rally Championship events will take place in Southern Estonia this year. This is your chance to see Estonia’s driving superstar Ott Tänak in action! This multi-day event won’t just have exciting rally driving—there will also be several other related events that are fun to attend.

On Thursday, 17 July, the Expo will open at the Estonian National Museum in Raadi, just outside of Tartu. At 17:00 on Tartu’s Town Hall Square, the public will get a chance to meet the crews on a podium outside, followed by a meet-and-greet where the biggest fans can get autographs. This will be immediately followed by the official opening ceremony at 18:00.

Several races will take place throughout the general region, from Elva to Lake Peipus. In the evening, if you still have energy, there will be a concert by Ewert and the Two Dragons at Tartu’s Song Festival Grounds. This is being called their last concert, so it’s definitely something you won’t want to miss.

The following two days will have several more races in various locations as well, and each night will have a different visiting DJ in Club Maasikas, or Club Strawberry in English, in Tartu. The WRC Delfi Rally Estonia 2025 finishing podium will be at 14:15 in the Kääriku Sports Centre on Sunday, 20 July.

If you want to watch the races, look here for guidelines and locations, as well as safety recommendations. The overall programme of events, including race locations, and information about accommodations, is available here.
