1.2 HISTORY OF RALLY ESTONIA

The idea to organize a new rally was born 10 years ago when Silver Kütt, a co-driver with the experience of participating in seven WRC rallies, presented his idea to his good friend, a former WRC driver Urmo Aava. After sharing the idea with a “marketing mastermind” Tarmo Hõbe, who named the new rally “Rally Estonia”, first steps were taken.

The idea that first seemed unbelievable back in 2009, has grown year by year and now the target is hosting WRC event.

The first Rally Estonia took place in 2010 and the first ever winner of the rally was a local hero Markko Märtin who has won five World Championship rallies back in his WRC career. The first two-time champion of the event was Mads Østberg, the winner Portugal WRC rally 2012, who was fastest at Rally Estonia in the years 2011 and 2012.

The high competitive level with the help and contribution of Märtin, Østberg and Latvala family raised the bar high for the organizers to keep.

From 2014 until 2016 Rally Estonia was part of the European Rally Championship (ERC) and in 2014 it was voted as the best ERC rally of the year.

Besides local stars Rally Estonia has welcomed many world top rally drivers over the years, such as WRC drivers Thierry Neuville, Esapekka Lappi, Jari-Matti Latvala, Teemu Suninen, Craig Breen, Hayden Paddon, Yazeed Al-Rajhi, Martin Prokop, Toni Gardemeister and ERC Champions Alexey Lukyanuk and Kajetan Kajetanowicz and the rising young gun Oliver Solberg who won R5 class last year.

For the last 2 years the competition has been dominated by the local heroes and current World Rally Champions Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja.

COOL FACTS

Estonia connects the dots between Scandinavia, Central Europe and what lies to the east. You can fly, sail, ride or drive to Estonia from anywhere in Europe. Located in northeastern Europe, this small coastal country is a short ferry trip away from Finland and Sweden, a coach ride away from such European capitals as Warsaw and Berlin, and an overnight train from Saint Petersburg will land you at the heart of Tallinn. Tallinn


24

airport and ferry port are both located in close vicinity to the city centre making short city breaks extremely convenient.

Estonia's capital Tallinn is the best-preserved medieval city in Northern Europe. Estonia's UNESCO world heritage capital city Tallinn was granted city rights in the 13th century by the King of Denmark. Since then, the streets of Tallinn have seen many world's powers, from the Danes and Swedes to Germans, and tsarist and Soviet Russia. Tallinn Old Town is filled with medieval houses and alleyways and is still protected by the remnants of the city wall.

Estonia is about 50% forest. Estonians love their forests, bogs and all the creatures that live there such as lynxes, brown bears, wolves, foxes, rabbits and deers. It's right to say that Estonians come with a tree hugging trait. In the spring and autumn time, birdwatching is an extremely popular pastime attracting both humans and vertebrates from all over the world.

Estonia has a population of just 1.3 million but is larger than Denmark and Holland. Being among the least densely populated countries in Europe, Estonia makes for a great nature and city break destination for those looking to stretch out their limbs and enjoy some peace and solitude.

Estonia has over 2000 islands. Estonia is the only Baltic country with far-stretching and deep-rooted island culture. Although mostly uninhabited, Estonian islands tend to be rural, with some holding traces of local Viking and medieval culture.

Estonian Song Celebration dates back to 1869, attracting thousands of singers in every 5 years. Estonian Song and Dance Celebration is the local signature event and a reason why Estonians are often referred to as the "singing nation". The uniqueness of this mesmerising event has even earned the song and dance celebration a place at UNESCO's prestigious list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Estonia is one of the least religious countries in the world. While Estonia has a great range of historical churches, only over a quarter of the population are affiliated with a particular religion, with Lutheranism being most prevalent among Estonians in particular.

Estonia is a digital society. From voting to signing documents online, Estonia implements hassle free and modern approach to running one's errands. This means less bureaucracy, while adding more transparency and efficiency in some vital sectors such as healthcare and education. Estonia is the first e-government in the world and offers e-residency to people from all over the world. Some of the recipients of Estonian e-residency include Angela Merkel and Barack Obama.

CLIMATE AND WEATHER

The weather in Estonia is largely dictated by its closeness to the Baltic Sea. The last month of the summer, August, is an agreeable month in Estonia with average temperature ranging between min 12°C and max 20.4°C. September, the first month of the autumn, is still a mild month, with temperature in the range of an average high of 15.2°C and an average low of 7.8°C. The beginning of the month is the warmest when the afternoons are still pleasant with an average high of 17°C. There is approximately 33% chance of rain.

TRAFFIC

Estonia has right-hand traffic and an extensive road system, the quality of which varies.

Visitors need driving license, provided it is valid for the class of vehicle they wish to drive. The maximum speed limit is 90 km/h, in residential areas 50km/h, unless otherwise indicated. In the

summer, the speed limit is 110km/h on some highways. A driver who has exceeded the speed limit can be punished with a financial penalty, an arrest, suspension of the right to drive or vehicle confiscation. Financial penalties are between 40 - 1200 euros.

Estonian highways tend to be narrow, therefore it’s important to pay attention to the speed limits and to pay extra attention when overtaking. Speed cameras are common in Estonia and speeding is rarely tolerated.

The use of front and rear seat belts is compulsory.


25

The blood/alcohol limit in Estonia is 0 milligrams of alcohol per litre of blood (zero tolerance). Driving while under the influence of drugs and alcohol is prohibited and strict penalties are in place for anyone caught doing so.

It is illegal for drivers to use a mobile phone without a hands-free device and holding a telephone in hand while the vehicle is moving.

Headlamps must be on at all times while driving. Don’t cross the road unless the pedestrian light is green. Even if you think it is safe to cross on the red

light, you never know where traffic may come from. Do wait the necessary few seconds and then You will be absolutely safe.

When moving on the road in poor visibility or at night-time, a pedestrian must use a reflector or a light source. Wearing a reflector is mandatory in Estonia.

THE CITY OF TARTU

The multifaceted city of Tartu is the oldest in the Baltic States and is considered the cradle of Estonian culture – numerous historically and culturally important landmarks and events have been established and continue to be initiated in Tartu. The city’s rich history, cultural heritage and centuries-old traditions contrast with the youthful, bohemian and innovative vibe. These different aspects complement one another as the city has intertwined its legacy with innovation and modern solutions, drawing inspiration from the past, present and future.

Its positively eccentric and imaginative spirit is visible in all facets of the city. Exhibitions of our cultural history and an avant-garde museum building with state-of-the-art technical solutions, medieval cathedral ruins and extraordinary light installations, historic wooden district Karlova and fantasy-filled street art, Soviet-era factory complex and an ever-developing culture factory, old military hangars and imaginative events – all of this and much more represent the unique quirkiness that makes Tartu a must-see destination.

THE MUNICIPALITY OF TARTU

The Municipality of Tartu and the City of Tartu share a name and the former military airfield in Raadi, but also the Estonian National Museum with its A entrance in the city but the B entrance in the municipality. The Municipality of Tartu is an urban neighbourhood north of the city with a good living environment, modern homes and a good infrastructure, which has made the area a favourite among young families. In the last three years, the municipality has built a new kindergarten and two new school buildings. Thus, offering first-class education to the hundreds of young families settling into the new residential areas on the old military airfield.


26

The Municipality of Tartu is not just a suburb – its residents occupy six market towns and 71 villages. It is home to the large Laeva bogs where people can hike and pick cloudberries. The municipality’s landscape is mainly shaped by the drumlins formed during the Ice Age and the large lakes of Vooremaa – Lake Saadjärv, Lake Elistvere and Lake Kaiavere. Tourists can meet a Eurasian lynx and a bear here – Elistvere Animal Park is home to almost all of the wild animals found in Estonian nature. This is a unique sanctuary for animals who have, for some reason, been forced out of their natural habitat, but also a chance for people to see our rich animal kingdom. In the Municipality of Tartu, you can also meet a mammoth and submerge into the primeval sea in virtual reality, which are the main attractions of the Ice Age Centre in Äksi. Children come to Vudila – the largest outdoor water park and play area in Estonia. The Municipality of Tartu includes two parishes with a long history – Äksi and Maarja-Magdaleena, which have both contributed significantly to the history of Estonian national development in the second half of the 19th century. This is the birthplace of Miina Härma who wrote some of the most significant works of Estonian choral music, and Estonia’s oldest wind orchestra, Väägvere pasunakoor, which celebrated its 180th anniversary last year and which has participated in all the Estonian Song Celebrations held in the last 150 years. The cherry on the diversity cake is the island of Piirissaar. The only inhabited island in an Estonian inland water body. On this island in Lake Peipus lives a small Russian-speaking community of Old Believers who escaped to Estonia from the Russian church reforms already at the beginning of the 18th century. Among other things, the island is known in Estonia for its onion-growing. More information www.tartuvald.ee

It is the most well-known winter sports centre in the Baltics and the Winter Capital of Estonia. Otepää got its name, which in Estonian means "bear's head" after the shape of the castle hill - which reminds you of a bear's head. It's also where in 1224, Bishop Hermann started building the first known brick castle in Estonia, The Stone Fort.

In summer you can hike along the paths of the Otepää Nature Park, see the landscape of rolling hills and lakes, romantic winding village roads and small rivers. Beautiful views open from observation towers on top of Tehvandi and Harimägi hills. You can also take part in different sports or simply have a good time at lake Pühajärve, which is a jewel among Estonian lakes. Pühajärv was also the first Estonian lake to earn the Blue Flag in 2000.

Those who believe in supernatural power should pay a visit to the so-called "energy pillar" in Otepää. It is believed that when you touch it, it will give you a great shot of energy and good health.

In wintertime Otepää is a winter sports paradise for skiers, snowmobile riders and for anyone who enjoys the snow: there are slalom slopes equipped with elevators and lots of cross-country tracks.

Tehvandi Centre is recognised as an all year-round training area among high level sportsmen and Kääriku has, for more than half a century, been a favourite of Estonian winter sports fans. Otepää and its surroundings are where Estonian Olympic medalists have lived and trained.

THE MUNICIPALITY OF KAMBJA

Kambja parish extends from the city of Tartu to the border of Valga and Põlva counties. The areas near the city of Tartu are characterized by a more developed and modern urban environment, but the traditional sparsely populated area has been preserved in the southern part of the municipality. The values of Kambja municipality are the airport - the air gate of South-Estonia to the world, and the Estonian Aviation Academy - the only school in Estonia where you can acquire a unique aviation specialty. The Estonian Agricultural Museum in Ülenurme is located in the buildings of the historic Uellenorm Knight Manor. The museum captures and introduces Estonian rural culture through exhibitions, exciting programs, interesting activities and great events. In the heart of Kambja parish is Kambja Church (also: Kambja Martin’s Church), which is the largest country church in Southern Estonia. The church was probably built on the present site as early as the 14th century, but has been destroyed and rebuilt several times. The church, with its good acoustics and more than 600 seats, attracts people to listen to concerts or get married. In 1932, Crown Prince Gustav Adolf of Sweden visited Kambja. The prince planted an oak in the churchyard, which still grows next to the gate. Kambja Church was also the home church of Georg Beck, Cornelius Laaland and Julius Kuperjanov. Kambja School (founded in 1686), one of the first peasant schools in Estonia, has sprung up from the church. Kambja is considered to be the cradle of Estonian choral singing, as already in 1794 a polyphonic choir operated here. The most natural place of Kambja municipality is the Pangodi landscape protection area, which is located on the edge of the Otepää Upland with a variable topography by the Tartu-Otepää road. There are several lakes with iridescent water in the protected area (eg Lake Pangodi, Suur and Väike Kodijärv) and the surrounding marshes. Every nature lover will find a private place to meditate, camp, swim, play sports, grill and draw the power and energy of nature. Kambja Parish is a pleasant municipality with a living and business environment, where cultural heritage and the development of sports opportunities are valued. Thanks to the beautiful landscape and developed road network, Kambja parish has been the place for many sports competitions (Rally Estonia, Tartu Bicycle Rally, orienteering, Ace Xdream).

Health sports are also honored. The 18-basket disc golf course in Valgjärve village is valued in Estonia among the top players.
