Estonia has a long-standing tradition in circuit racing and formula racing.
Naturally, we can all name Ferraris, Lotuses, and Brabhams throughout history, but you have to be a real aficionado to know about a successful brand like the Estonia formula car, which dominated the scene behind the Iron Curtain in the Soviet Union and beyond. The development of the Estonia formula car began back in the 1950s and reached its peak with the Model 21, designed by the legendary racing driver Raul Sarap.
In his workshop, a young Tõnis Vanaselja, who would later become a successful formula driver, worked diligently. Having gone through the hell of the racetracks, Vanaselja has now written a new chapter in the history of Estonian motorsport – the birth of the new Estonian hypercar, Kalana.
This is how skills and traditions are passed on, creating new legends through invaluable experience.
It’s not a business, it’s a passion.
