About Speedest

Speedest is Estonia's oldest and largest drag racing event, which started in 1997. Over 26 years it has grown from a small local community into one of the most important drag racing event series in the Baltics.

Our mission

Bringing together speed-obsessed enthusiasts in a safe and professional environment. Speedest is a place where a garage tinkerer and a factory-backed pro racer find common ground.

Format

Races take place on a 402-metre (1/4 mile) track. All vehicles are placed in a class based on engine displacement, drivetrain, and technical modifications. Each participant typically gets 2–4 qualifying runs and advances to the elimination bracket based on results.
