The organizers of Rally Estonia announced the entries of their event which reach the 53.
The Rally1 cars will be eight as Ott Tanak and Pierre-Louis Loubet will drive for M-Sport Ford whereas Takamoto Katsuta joins Kalle Rovanpera and Elfyn Evans at the main squad of Toyota Gazoo Racing. Hyundai Motorsport chose Teemu Suninen to get behind the wheel of the third i20N as Dani Sordo does not prefer competing on fast gravel roads. Esapekka Lappi and Thierry Neuville will be the leading due for the Alzenau-based team for one more rally as both of them have a full-season programme.
The WRC2 participants will be 24. Oliver Solberg, Gus Greensmith, Andreas Mikkelsen, Sami Pajari, Egon Kaur, Marco Bulacia, Bruno Bulacia, Armin Kremer and Mauro Mielewill drive the Skoda Fabia RS Rally2. Emil Lindholm will make his debut with the i20N Rally2, as Hyundai confirmed him as a member of its new programme, and will have Fabrizio Zaldivar as his teammate. Georg Linnamae, Joshua McErlean and Miguel Zalvidar will be behind the wheel of the i20N Rally2 as privateers. Alejandro Cachon will continue his programme with Citroen there, but Yohan Rossel will be absent from the Estonian roads. Finally, M-Sport Ford chose to skip the eighth WRC round in WRC2 class, but Robert Virves will be the only driver who will drive a Ford Fiesta MKII Rally2.
