Rihard Lainemäe double at Estonian Nats Rd3

The third round of the 2020 Estonian Offroad Racing Series took place at LaitseRallipark, the one day event consisting of morning free practice, 4 qualification runs followed by a single 10-minute sprint final. After Qualifying it was Rainer Ressar in Nitro Buggy and Karl Martinson in eBuggy taking the top spot, with Rihard Lainmeäe taking a close 2nd in both classes. The finals saw the track evolve to very high grip but also very bumpy, which made the conditions even more difficult and made for very interesting racing. Rihard Lainemäe would win both finals followed in nitro buggy by Rainer Ressar in 2nd and Reimo Kosk 3rd and by Martinson and Marko Kivisild in eBuggy.
