The 2026 Estonia Rally will be impossible to forget for Sami Pajari, who achieved his first career victory in the WRC right here. A well-deserved success for the Finnish driver, leading throughout the weekend (except for the Super Sunday) and with a win that allows him not only to surpass nine-time world champion Sébastien Ogier in the overall standings but also to climb to 3rd place behind Takamoto Katsuta. The Japanese driver, even outside the top 20 following a puncture at the start of the rally, maintains second place in the championship, but 25 points behind leader Elfyn Evans, who finished only 6th in Estonia. Overall, the top five classified are drivers from the Toyota team, with the Japanese manufacturer confirming its dominance by 156 points over Hyundai.
