Atmospheric VIP experience in the heart of the city!

The very popular Harju city special stage has been seasoned with a new route and a completely new driving concept. The first run on the special stage on Thursday will be the opening of the race and the lap will be run twice.

The terrace area of Harju Stadium’s event yard offers a great view right to the special stage. The event area expands inside the Stadium, offering guests more space to dine, move around and socialize. You can also see and follow the competition on the screen of our comfortable VIP area.
