Rallying
Tarmo Torn
The term "rally", as a branch of motorsport,
probably dates from the first Monte Carlo Rally of
January 1911.
The first of these great races was the ParisBordeauxParis race of June 1895, won by
Paul Koechlin in a Peugeot, despiting arriving 11 hours after Émile Levassor in a
Panhard et Levassor.
There are two main forms: stage rallies and road rallies.
Since the 1960s, stage rallies have been the professional
branch of the sport.
Drivers
Most of the works drivers of the 1950s were amateurs,
paid little or nothing, reimbursed their expenses and
given bonuses for winning.
Then in 1960 came arguably the first rallying superstar
Sweden's Erik Carlsson, driving for Saab.
Sébastien Loeb, the world's most successful rally driver in terms of WRC wins.

Markko Märtin Markko Märtin (born November 10, 1975 in Tartu) is a rally car driver from Estonia, who competed in the World Rally Championship from 2000 until 2005. Märtin, as understudy to then-team mates Colin McRae and Carlos Sainz, shot to prominence with Ford in 2002. He was on target to notch up victory on that year's Acropolis Rally Greece, his career first, until suffering two punctures and instead being forced to concede to the more experienced McRae. But Märtin still impressed during his time as pilot of the Ford Focus WRC. He won the equivalent event in Greece the following year as well as being only the third driver in the history of the WRC to break the Scandinavian stranglehold on the Neste Rally Finland. In addition to this, Märtin was a winner, again with Ford, of the Corona Rally Mexico in 2004. He also won the

But the legend of the White Lady of Haapsalu, which is at the heart of the festival, is perhaps the most famous tall tale of the many that are so abundant in Estonia's folklore.
