Georg Gross (pictured above) won the 2009 Ralli Viru, the latest round of the Estonian rally championship, in an ex-Markko Martin Ford Focus WRC 03.

Markko Martin had just recently purchased his old machine for his own team. Gross led from start to finish with his teammate and future star Ott Tänak second in the Autospiritist run Subaru Impreza WRX STI N14.

Tanak was  only 30 seconds behind the winner and the top Group N finisher. Egon Kaur was second in Group N and third overall in a Subaru Impreza N12.
