20.09.2025
It is the first victory in the TER – Tour European Rally for an Estonian crew in the 10-year history of the series.
After two days full of emotions on the fantastic special stages of Rallijs Cēsis, the Estonian crew in a Ford Fiesta Rally2, composed of Kaspar Kasari and Rainis Raidma, secured victory in the 3rd Round of the TER – Tour European Rally 2025 in Latvia.
The Estonians took the lead of the TER standings on the second special stage, also won the TER Power Stage, and collected the maximum points for the TER – Tour European Rally classification, reaching Sébastien Loeb at the top of the championship.
Second place in TER went to another Estonian crew: Vaiko Samm and Kaimar Taal, who finished two minutes behind the leaders with their Škoda Fabia.
The third step of the podium was claimed by Latvians Guntis Lielkājis and Vilnis Miķelsons, also at the wheel of a Škoda Fabia.
In the overall classifications of Rallijs Cēsis, outside the TER entries, after the domination of Latvian idol Mārtiņš Sesks with co-driver Renārs Francis, the WRC driver went off on the final special stage and was forced to retire. This opened the way for Estonian driver Karl Martin Volver with co-driver Annika Sõna, who, in their Škoda Proto, delivered a brilliant performance to win the overall Rallijs Cēsis 2025.
Luca Grilli, TER Organiser and Promoter, said:
“Rallijs Cēsis proved to be a top-level new entry in the championship. The organisation of the Latvian event was perfect for our series, and the excellent collaboration we established allowed us to work with peace of mind and achieve our objectives. We received a wonderful welcome in Latvia, and the professionalism of the organising staff fits perfectly with our series. We look forward to continuing a fruitful collaboration for both parties in the coming years.”
