At rally Tallin Plangi has 2nd place in class, Volver has an accident

Rally Tallin passed in Estonia, which was attended by two ASRT team crews - Siim Plangi / Marek Sarapuu and Karl Martin Volver / Margus Jorand. The rally began with the city's special stage, but the next day the drivers had to take the remaining nine special stages. A total of 72 crews went on start.

Unfortunately, at the very first special stage young and talented Volver commited mistake, who was forced to withdraw. As it later became clear, safety cage suffered from the accident, which did not allow Volvers crew to continue the race.


"It was my mistake. One law for the quick incision, after which the front right wheel touched the tree. Then the car went up on two wheels, and the doors on my side hit concrete pads. Then the car stopped and we withdraw. Unfortunately, this blow to my door was fateful. Stupid mistake," says Karl Martin Volver.

Nor it is not the most successful rally this time for Siim Plangi. Although Plangi was first after the three stages, at that moment Latvian and Estonian Rally Championship leader completed absolute cup only in fourth place, because the car had technical problems.

"Overall, the rally was good because we reached our goal, which was to win important test points. But at the same time, we had technical problems. Kaur was probably faster than us, because we had problems with the turbo. But this is not the main reason why we lost, because Kaur really drove very well. He deserved to win this rally."

Crew also had other technical problems at seventh stage, which failed to be prevented in time, because of the delay punishment was received at the time control. "Of course, I want to ensure that both the Latvian and Estonian championship titles already at rally Tartu, so at this stage and will not risk and drive carefully. If I manage to solve everything at this stage, at the Saaremaa Rally I will be able to drive fast and unshackled," says Siim Plangi who won the second place in EMV2 class.
