Villy Lopman interviews Rally Estonia driver and rally legend Urmo Aava for Edasi.org
RASK partner Villy Lopman has been advising the Rally Estonia organising team for 8 years. On the eve of a new WRC stage in Estonia in the summer of 2022, Villy Lopman and Urmo Aava sat down to talk about what goes on behind the scenes of the world’s premier sporting event.
In a long interview published in the Edasi.org portal, Urmo Aava talks about the birth of Rally Estonia, the organising team, thoughts about Rally Estonia 2.0, and expectations just before this year’s big event. They don’t talk about motor racing, but about ideas and the team.
"As a rally driver, Urmo Aava has given many special moments to Estonians. During his career, he took part in 51 WRC rallies, with five speed test wins. While the highest peak of motoring remained unconquered, he began a challenging journey as a rally promoter shortly after finishing his sporting career. The first Rally Estonia took place under Aava’s co-direction already in 2010, and soon the world’s best rally drivers will start on the third WRC rally in Estonia."
