In less than a month – from July 3rd to 6th – Estonia will host the third round of the Baltic Touring
Racing Championship: the Pärnu Summer Race. Held at the Porsche Ring and organized by Baltic
Racing Series, the event will also feature the opening round of the renewed Baltic Time Attack
series, the Hankook Endurance Challenge two-hour race, and the Estonian Formula Historic
championship. Participant registration is now open at www.balticracingseries.eu.
The website of the new Baltic Racing Series organizing team offers registration and all essential
information for the upcoming “Pärnu Summer Race” in early July. The site also provides official
documents and results for the Baltic Championship and further insights into the refreshed Baltic
Time Attack series.
In the first two rounds of the Baltic Championship, held in Kaunas and Riga, there were 90
competitors across sprint classes and 33 endurance racing teams, and that’s not including guests
from the Polish Championship who joined in Riga. A similarly strong turnout is expected for the
Pärnu event, as the safe and spacious Porsche Ring with generous run-off areas consistently delivers exciting racing action.
Adding to the on-track and paddock atmosphere will be the Formula Historic Championship, making
its first appearance in the Baltic Championship this year, with over 20 historic formula cars expected
on the grid. Another fresh addition is the revived Baltic Time Attack series, starting its season
precisely in Pärnu. It has been seven years since the strongest Baltic Time Attack drivers last faced
off, making it all the more exciting to see which country’s drivers will go home with the winners’
trophies.
The race weekend kicks off on Thursday and Friday with unofficial practice sessions, along with
administrative checks and scrutineering. The official practice sessions for the championship
competitors begin Friday afternoon. Saturday will raise the intensity with qualifying sessions for all
sprint classes in the morning, immediately followed by the respective sprint races.
Saturday evening will feature the first sessions for Baltic Time Attack, followed by the second and
third sessions on Sunday morning. Sunday will also see the Formula Historic races, while the main
highlight of the day will be two 2-hour endurance races: the Nankang Endurance Academy and the
Hankook Endurance Challenge. More information for spectators and competitors can be found at
www.balticracingseries.eu.
We encourage participants to register early – the standard entry fee applies to those who register
and complete payment by June 25th. Early registration is also appreciated by motorsport fans, who
can decide in advance to attend the event based on the entry list. So let’s register, prepare, and
meet in just under three weeks at the beautiful Pärnu resort and motorsport mecca of Estonia.
