Abramowski delivers breakthrough WRC3 victory in Estonia
Former FIA ERC3 champion Tymok Abramowski continued to deliver on his potential, claiming his maiden WRC3 victory in just his fourth start this season.
Driving a Ford Fiesta Rally3, Pole Abramowski delivered a measured performance at Delfi Rally Estonia to eventually claim victory by 7min 57.5sec over Nicolas Otto. Rounding out the podium was André Martínez.
“It is hard to describe how happy I am right now. After last year’s Delfi Rally Estonia, I felt a huge sense of disappointment and sporting frustration because I knew we could have won,” expressed the jubilant victor.

He continued: “Although we were still searching for the optimal setup, we kept winning stages and increasing our lead. The victory in Estonia tastes fantastic.”
One year ago, Abramowski had been leading on his WRC3 debut in Estonia by almost two minutes when a heavy impact on landing led to the overheating of his Fiesta’s engine, bringing a premature end to his weekend.

The 20-year-old now sits second in the overall standings, 24 points behind defending champion Matteo Fontana but with one less start to his name. In his four outings in 2026, he is yet to finish below second.
Outside of the top three, all crews had a story to tell with multiple retirements across Friday and Saturday.
After returning to action on Saturday morning following a Friday roll, Nataniel Bruun completed without further incident to finish fourth, picking up two stage wins along the way.

Having been consistently on the pace across Friday and Saturday morning, there was a disappointing retirement for Toyota Gazoo Racing development driver Kanta Yanaguida when his Renault Clio Rally3 suffered from technical issues. But he was able to restart Sunday and win both passes Kääriku, eventually finishing fifth.
Kerem Kazaz and Jarkkon Nikara, co-driving for Toyota co-driver Tomiya Maekawa, rounded out the top seven.
