Eighth meeting of 2025 in WRC, the third consecutive on Earth, the Estonia Rally is competing for this weekend on fast forest paths. In Greece, during the previous round, Hyundai and Ott Tänak finally put an end to the hegemony of Toyota. Logically, at home, the Estonian driver will seek to chain and get closer to Elfyn Evans a little more. On the side of the Japanese team, in the absence of Sébastien Ogier, there will be in particular on Kalle Rovanperä, triple winner of the event, to score big points. While Oliver Solberg will try to interfere among the favorites. Thus, beautiful battles are announced in this first day to follow in full on Autohebdo.fr!
