Mads Østberg and Jonas Andersson took back-to-back wins in 2011 and 2012 driving a Ford Fiesta RS WRC thus becoming the first two-time winners of Rally Estonia.

Local driver Georg Gross together with co-driver Raigo Mõlder won the rally in 2013 in a Ford Focus RS WRC 08.

[4] In 2016 Lukyanuk and Arnautov were on the verge of defending their win, but crashed out from the lead on the penultimate stage, allowing Ralfs Sirmacis and Māris Kulšs to take victory in their Škoda Fabia R5.

[11] However, it was announced in February that the 2020 edition had been cancelled after the event organizers were unable to find agreement with the national governing body, the Estonian Autosport Union (EAU).

[12] Principal issue in the dispute was the competition registration fee, which the EAU raised 5,000 percent from €2,000 to €100,000 in January, just six months before the scheduled start of the rally in July.

[20][21] Winning the warm-up event, local favourites Tänak and Järveoja were determined to vanquish their home soil for the third straight year.

[22] The reigning world champions showed an impressive speed throughout the weekend, leading almost the entire rally to win their first victory for Hyundai in their motherland.

[30] Having fended off the pursuit of Craig Breen and Paul Nagle,[31] they increasingly extend their lead to the eventual shy off one minute to claim their maiden WRC win.

After fine-tuning his car's set-up on Saturday morning, he reeled off seven consecutive fastest times to distance the Welshman and more than double his advantage.

Rovanperä and co-driver Jonne Halttunen continued their unstoppable form, when the Finnish crew claimed their fifth win in six rallies of the 2022 season.

[36] Rally Estonia was part of the WRC calendar for the fourth consecutive year as the 2023 edition was scheduled as round eight of the thirteen-round championship.

Kalle Rovanperä and Jonne Halttunen secured their third consecutive Rally Estonia triumph as the Finns finished the four-day gravel road fixture 52.7sec ahead of Hyundai's Thierry Neuville and Martijn Wydaeghe, who initially led after Friday's opening loop.

Rovanperä also remained untouchable in Sunday's closing leg winning all four speed tests in his Toyota GR Yaris and gaining maximum Power Stage bonus points in the process.

The last time similar kind of domination was seen in WRC was in 2005 when Sébastien Loeb and Daniel Elena won all 12 stages of 2005 Tour de Corse.
