Rally Estonia founders Urmo Aava and Silver Kütt announced today at a press conference that they will compete as drivers at Rally Estonia — a world championship round they laid the foundation for 16 years ago. They will start in a Toyota Yaris Rally2 prepared by the RedGrey team.

Rally Estonia has grown into one of the most beloved world rally championship rounds, held every summer in South Estonia. The event has been backed for years by Aava and Kütt, whose organizational work has brought the world's top drivers to Estonia. Now they are taking the wheel themselves and stepping into a different role at the competition — as drivers rather than organizers.

This step gives the organizers a unique opportunity to experience rallying from a competitor's perspective, which can also be used in future development of the event. The Toyota Yaris Rally2 is a modern and competitive car used by many experienced rally drivers around the world.
