Martynas Samsonas’ second visit to Italy 🙂
Europe
Rally Il Ciocco e Valle del Serchio
The rally community seems to have learned to behave in the context of quarantine and we will no longer have those empty weekends as we did a year ago. Italians often have at least a couple of rallies taking place on the same weekend. Everything happens without spectators, but they will come back. In Australia, Philip Island hosted the GT World Challenge Australia race, where after a long break, the stands were no longer filled with ghosts but with motorsport fans.
SM O.K. Auto-ralli
Two out of two. The Finns had a great start to this rally season. Both winter events took place, and in addition, the WRC caravan visited unexpectedly. Also the historic debut of the new WRC class in the second Finnish championship event. It is good for a rally to live in this patch of land.

Otepää talveralli
At least in one of the Baltic countries, the rally season has finally started. Lithuania and Latvia have to wait for it for almost a quarter of a year. The roads of the first event of the Estonian Rally Championship not only welcomed the local people but also became a training ground for many crews from all over the world. So it is – Otepää talveralli.

The situation in the Rally World is now such, that instead of choosing what to write about, you are just looking for something that at least happened over the weekend. And luckily for all of us, there is a bit of action – either Southerners or Northerners are moving a little bit. On the other hand, it’s quite interesting to look for more valuable stories from events you wouldn’t even know about in normal times.
Rallye de Monte Carlo
This record, like many in Rally Week, will take you to another place instead of planned. I’m sure you know perfectly well how the opening ceremony of the WRC season took place this year. And you know, 2021 is the end of the current WRC car era. This story will be about the opening rally of the end of the other World Rally Championship car group – the 1986 Rallye de Monte Carlo.
