Sami Pajari is one day away from a maiden World Rally Championship victory, leading Rally Estonia by 25 seconds on Saturday evening. The Toyota driver has led round nine of the season ever since the first stage, dominating Friday’s opening leg by winning all seven of the day’s stages. Pajari carried that momentum into Saturday, winning the first pass of both Peipsiääre and Mustvee before Oliver Solberg replied with two stage wins on the repeat pass.
Solberg breaks Pajari’s stage-winning streak
Sami Pajari continues to lead Rally Estonia, but second-placed Oliver Solberg ended his dominant stage-winning streak on Saturday morning. Pajari won all seven of the opening day’s stages on Friday, and duly went quickest again on the first pass of both Peipsiääre and Mustvee on Saturday to extend his lead to 17.6 seconds. Solberg responded on SS10 Peipsiääre 2 however, stealing 3.3s back from his Toyota team-mate to close to 14.3s behind and halt Pajari’s domination.
Pajari’s team-mates react to his domination
Sami Pajari has been in complete control of Rally Estonia so far, winning all seven of the event’s stages on Friday. That’s earned him a 14.7-second lead over last year’s winner Oliver Solberg, despite starting one car ahead of Solberg on the road. Pajari was the fourth car onto the stages, one behind his world champion team-mate Sébastien Ogier. Ogier was impressed by what his 24-year-old team-mate achieved on day one.
Pajari wins 100% of Friday’s Rally Estonia stages
Sami Pajari dominated the opening day of Rally Estonia, winning all seven of the day’s stages to lead by 14.7 seconds. With five podiums from eight starts so far in the 2026 World Rally Championship, the only result Pajari’s been missing was an elusive first victory. After setting the equal-fastest time with Toyota team-mate Elfyn Evans on Friday morning’s shakedown test, Pajari carried that momentum into the competitive event which began in the afternoon.
Pajari unbeaten so far at Rally Estonia
Sami Pajari leads Rally Estonia at Friday’s halfway point, winning all three of the opening three stages. Equal quickest with championship leader Elfyn Evans on shakedown earlier on Friday morning, Pajari carried that promise into the competitive element of the event – winning SS1 Raanitsa by 2.4 seconds. Quickest again on SS2 Karaski, this time by 0.3s, Pajari also set the pace on SS3 Kanepi by 0.8s to remain unbeaten at Rally Estonia so far.
Evans and Pajari share Estonia shakedown win
Elfyn Evans and Sami Pajari shared the fastest time at Rally Estonia shakedown, with Toyota locking out the top-five. The ninth round of the 2026 World Rally Championship is the first of two back-to-back fast gravel events before Rally Finland in a fortnight.
The illustrious WRC history of Katsuta’s family
Toyota and Katsuta. The two reasons why Japanese rallying is where it is today. The reverence with which Takamoto Katsuta and his Toyota GR Yaris Rally1 were greeted at home earlier this year was a sight to behold. When the two-time World Rally winner pulled into Enakyo Park on Saturday, his countryfolk simply stopped and stared – it was somewhere between admiration and outright awe.
The WRC2 drivers competing for €50,000
For the very first time, Estonia is hosting its World Rally Championship round without Ott Tänak and Martin Järveoja on the entry list. However that’s not to say there’s a shortage of local talent on display this week – far from it. Some of the WRC’s most exciting next-generation drivers hail from Estonia, and at their home round of the championship they each are able to compete for a €50,000 prize fund – a rarity in modern-day competition.
Virves the inspiration for new song ‘Full Send’
Robert Virves has a Junior WRC title, three WRC2 victories and a real shot at this year’s Rally2 world title. But it’s his comments, as well as his driving, that inspired Estonian music artist NOËP. ‘Full Send’, the new official anthem of Rally Estonia, pays homage to Virves’ stage-end comments after the first day of Rally Finland.
Why Rally Estonia doesn’t start until Friday
It’s Wednesday. Usually at this stage of the week, recce is ending and the World Rally Championship crews are preparing themselves for tomorrow’s shakedown test. Not in Estonia. Rally Estonia is trialing something different in 2026, condensing the rally week but still maintaining the same length. So while the option exists for crews to recce on Tuesday, today is when recce begins for most. Tomorrow is the second and final day, but there’s no shakedown or FIA media pen.
