  • Enduro Tallinn GP 2017

    As you can probably see from my blog, I’m mostly into car culture, but since Tallinn Enduro GP was held on a beautiful day in my hometown I went to check it out.

For those of you who don’t know, Enduro is pretty much like WRC, just different machinery – bikes have road stages and special stages, usually in forests or in some other kind of hard-to-get places.
