In third weekend of September Sebateam entered fifth round of Estonian Rally Championship series which was driven in surroundings of Viljandi.

Mulgi rally included two days of hard rally action. In Friday teams drove two stages including 20 special stage kilometres and in Saturday they faced 7 more special stages including approximately 70 special stage kilometres.

Sebateam Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X RS rally car was just repaired from crash happened in Rally Estonia. Service team Jari Sopanen, Markus Paananen and Markus Jalas made superb job for making us possible to enter Multi rally with a repaired rally car. When the car was fixed and paint team made long days to build the car. During the rally the car worked very well - thanks for excellent work of our service mens.

We start the event by slightly a cautious way. Our goals were set for chequerred flag and therefore we didn't push hard. Furthermore the conditions were rainy and therefore the stages were very slippery. We made no big mistakes during the rally and reached our goals with 5th fastest overall classification. In group N we were 4th fastest. Rally was won by Georg Gross with Ford Focus WRC and group N was won by Egon Kaur with Subaru Impreza WRX STi rally car.
