23.5.2010 - Axel Lindholm fifth fastest in International rally of Tallinn

Sebateam driver Axel Lindholm experienced his second Estonian Rally Championship event in an international rally of Tallinn which was driven in third weekend of May in north region of Estonia.

Rally included 10 special stages. Four forest stages were driven twize and drivers also measured their speed in two separate super special stages. For whole weekend the weather was very summerish and therefore lots of spectators came to the stages to see the rally. Also lots of Finnish rally fans took a ferry from Finland to experience a hot rally event.

Stages of the rally were various as some part of the stages were very fast paced and in good condition. However some of the stages were in very narrow and in rough condition.

We had a good start for the rally as me and my co-driver Timo Jaakkola made very competitive stage times. However in rough condition stages I drove cautiously and therefore we were not so fast on those. Still we finished the event in fifth fastest position in overall classifications and therefore we also were fastest Finns in the event which was won by Estonian Egon Kaur and his co-driver Erik Lepikson.

Our Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X RS rally car gave us a trouble-free event. Setup for the car was good and it was very nice to drive it. We would like to give lots of regards for our service team for the result.

Next event for Sebateam is to happen in middle of July in Rally Estonia.
