Three times FIA ERC European Rally Championship rally winner Sirmacis finished 3rd overall in the series in 2016. Last weekend Sirmacis and Igavenš started their home FIA ERC event in Liepaja where they won ERC 2 category. Their next rally will be Shell Helix Rally Estonia.

Ralfs Sirmacis: “Shell Helix Rally Estonia is still my favorite rally. It is fast, with jumps and corners which makes it very enjoyable. Of course I wanted to drive it once again with R5 car but I’m sure it will fun with Mitsubishi Lancer EVO too. In Rally Liepaja we saw that we have the pace and we will give our maximum at Rally Estonia.”

Urmo Aava, director of Shell Helix Rally Estonia welcomes Ralfs Sirmacis and Ralfs Igavenš and other Latvian drivers at Rally Estonia.

Urmo Aava: “It is great to see our 2016 winner Ralfs Sirmacis back in Estonia. I’m sure that the experience he has from our event will help him to show competitive pace. I believe also that Ralfs Sirmacis and Ralfs Igavenš and other Latvian drivers will receive great support from Latvian fans who will travel to Estonia as Shell Helix Rally Estonia is a round of Latvian championship too.”

Rally passes are now available on Shell Helix Rally Estonia official website rallyestonia.com with the price of 24 euros.
