WRC 2021: Rally Estonia

The 2021 World Rally Championship continues with the Rally Estonia event and this is the rally weekend where one driver made spectacular headlines in the end.

The shakedown saw Kalle Rovanpera trumped homegrown hero Ott Tanak with the fastest time set and with Tanak's heartbreak after sudden trouble, the unsung hero surges through the lead with Craig Breen trailing behind him.
