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.
