Hello Finnish friends,

We are happy to invite you to our clubracing series in Saue, Estonia.
We would be honored to host you at our humble, but possibly the nicest looking indoor onroad track in Europe. Expect to have a nice relaxed clubracing atmosphere instead of hardcore by the book regulations driven racing. We emphasize on RC racing being above all fun and affordable, and everyone, at any skill level is welcome.



Please note that our races are organized so you can take the first Tallink ferry from Helsinki on Sunday and be back in Helsinki the same day, should you prefer not to enjoy Estonias nightlife. If there are more than two racers coming on same ferry we will organize free transport from Harbour to track and back, so you can leave your car in Finland and save some money on ferry tickets also.

You can read all the information about our more serious WinterCup series (where the main class is 1:10 stock) on our english website: http://www.hobizone.eu/racing-series/onroad-wintercup

Or you are welcome to participate at what is possibly the most fun racing format of them all, slowmoSUNDAY. Proudly invented at Saue HOBIzone: http://www.hobizone.eu/racing-series/slowmosunday

See you in Estonia.

Morjes,

It's a great pleasure for me to invite follow drivers from Finland to participate in Estonian indoor offroad racing series. We have a nice permanent carpet track (for you) in Väike-Maarja. It's located just 120km from Tallinn and just over 20km from Rakvere, a nice small town with great spa's (for your girlfriends;)) and shopping possibilities.

I'm glad to say that our local drivers have improved alot over the past year and top drivers in here will surely be giving you good competition and nice fair racing. Please bear in mind, that the track is 100% carpet (with plywood jumps) so very high grip and most drivers prefer Schumacher minipin (yellow compound) tires that are also available on site.

The two main classes we are running are:
1:10 2wd electric (Locals only run buggy, but SC and truck allowed if you wish to participate)
1:8 electric
and as a filler class 1:10 4wd (only two local drivers)

Competitions take place:
• 07.12.2013 3.stage
• 11.01.2014 4.stage
• 08.02.2014 5.stage
• 08.03.2014 6.stage
• 12.04.2014 7.stage
• 26.04.2014 Endurance (1/10 2wd Buggy)

Registration can either be done through our web portal http://www.register.modelcar.ee or by email bruno.vaher@hobi.ee.
Competition fees is 20 Eur first class and if you drive more than one class, then every second class costs 15 eur.

We are timing with AMB transponders that can be rented on site if you don't have your own. The temperature in racing hall is around 15 degrees so it makes great sense to bring your hoodie.

We have little cafe, where you can buy coffee/tea, pies and sodas. We serve lunch advance registration
(in place to the competition day).

Greetings to all racers,
I'm sorry for writing in englkish, but if I did try to write finnish you would end up reading something that you could make no sence of :) so here goes.

As the time passes, we have once again found ourselves reacing the end of offroad seasons and thus approaching the dark and cold winter. But real offroad racers dont care of bad weather, snow, ice and sometimes water, they are outside racing...
This is how the winter usually came in the Baltics, but this scenario is now history as we are over and done with this type of racing. HOBI.ee in co-operation with autopilots.lv and rc-cars.lt are proud to present you the Estonian winter racing series. WinterCup 2007|2008. No more will we defy the forces of nature risking our health, cars and electronics. We are happy to inform all the racers and spectators that the legendary race-series (that will be raced for the fourth season) has decided to move indoors, for the whole season! We hope that by taking off the risk factors associated with the forces of nature we should experience some of the finest racing ever seen in the Baltic region.

Hi,

First of all, sorry for not speaking Finnish and if this is in wrong forum than admins, please relocate it.

I'm searching for fun tracks near Helsinki to come and race at. I'm a mediocre (or worse) driver so I would hold off from big races for now. Links, exact adresses, timetables, race scheduals, directions and pictures would be superb, but if you have any information than please post it.

Thanks for taking your time reading this,
Rando Mere
