More fast drivers, Karl Kruuda and Jimmy Joge, entered in auto24 Rally Estonia

One of the main goals for the organizers of auto24 Rally Estonia is to have good competition in every class. Entry list shows that things are going exactly like organizers have planned. We are glad to inform that two weeks before auto24 Rally Estonia competition in class N4 (Group N, S2000, R4) is something we have hoped.

In N4 there will be fast drivers from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. From Finland comes extremly fast Jari Ketomaa, who will be two weeks after auto24 Rally Estonia start in Neste Oil Rally Finland with Ford Fiesta RS WRC. In Estonia Jari Ketomaa is driving Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X R4 prepared by MML Sports.

This week SWRC regular Karl Kruuda and multiple times Swedish champion Jimmy Joge entered the auto24 Rally Estonia.

For Karl Kruuda and Martin Järveoja (ME3 Rally Team), currently holding 4th place in SWRC, auto24 Rally Estonia is a very important race. They will drive for the first time with Ford Fiesta S2000 which is prepared by MM-Motorsport.

Karl Kruuda: „We have chosen Markko Märtin’s team MM-Motorsport for this rally. This week we made some testing and everything went well. We have good setup for auto24 Rally Estonia and I think we should be fast in South-Estonia. Working with Markko Märtin gives us a good lesson how to drive fast on the fast roads. And yes, this is good training for us before Neste Oil Rally Finland. Our goal is to beat local Group N drivers and be competitive with foreign drivers with S2000 cars.“

Multiple times Swedish champion Jimmy Joge will enter auto24 Rally Estonia with Peugeot Baltic and Peugeot 207 S2000. Jimmy Joge started rallying in 1999 and was last years Swedish champion in Group N.

Jimmy Joge: „I’m looking forward to auto24 Rally Estonia. It is good to drive Peugeot 207 S2000 once again. There will be lots of fast drivers and this is only good for the competition“

Per Brinkenberg, Peugeot Baltic: „I know Jimmy is very fast and talented driver. Last month he was driving Rally Talsi in Latvia. Fifth place overall was a good result.“

auto24 Rally Estonia is held on South-Estonian roads on 15-16th of July. It is the fourth round of Estonian Rally Championships, second round of Baltic Rally Champoinship, the only Estonian race that is in the FIA calender and candidate rally for FIA European Historic Sporting Rally Championship.
