Plangi and Volver are between the fastest drivers in ERC Rally Estonia

From 17 to 19 July rally auto24 took place in Estonia, where more than 60 crews went out on start, among which were two ASRT team crews - Siim Plangi / Marek Sarapuu and Karl Martin Volver / Margus Joerand.

The competition was very fierce Both in Plangi and Volver classes, since the start, not only there were fast Baltic drivers, but also other strong drivers from other European countries. Despite the fierce competition, mood of both ASRT pilot teams before a rally was combative.

"This will be a rally with fast roads which means that R5 and N4 machines will be in quite similar positions. We do not have any specific plan, we are just going to drive and do our job. We will try to drive as fast as we can, but competition will be fierce, so it will be difficult," before the rally says Plangi.

Both Estonian rally drivers drove quickly to the finish and achieved good results. Plangi won fourth place strictly and third place in ERC 2 class, while Volver won sixth place in RC4 class. As later it became clear, Plangi with was not satisfied with his score while Volver did not hide the joy about reaching finish and achieving good result.

"This was not our best rally since we made some mistakes and we also had minor technical problems with the machine. Overall, this was a bad vacation," said Siim Plangi after the finish. "Our minimum task was to be the second in Group N, but we failed this task, so I am not satisfied with the result. In addition, we had two very dangerous moments. It seemed that I was just as fast as the previous rallies, but, later it became clear that our speed was slower than Lukyanuk pace. We should be more precise and smarter next time," says Plangi.

Meanwhile Volver was pleased with this rally because he both managed to reach the finish and produce a good result. "Overall, the rally was very good, so enjoyed it - a great time, good special stages, as well as the last special stage of its class I was able to produce the fastest time. But the main thing is that I reached the finish line," advises Karl Martin Volver, who says many thanks to our sponsors and supporters for the opportunity to participate in the Estonian ERC rally.
