PIRITA-KOSE-KLOOSTRIMETSA RINGRADA - Tallinn (EST)Type: Road Circuit Length: 6.761 km Location: In the woods near Pirita convent, 6 km NE of downtown Tallinn Used: 1933 - The Estonian Grand Prix course used the roads between Pirita and Kose, near the ruins of the Pirita convent outside the Estonian capital Tallinn. Only 2/3 of the narrow roads had tarmac, the remaining 1/3 consisted of sand. The drivers seem to have liked the course itself but on the long road spectator control proved to be a problem, with spectators passing the road anywhere they liked to. The first event in 1933 was an international TT event for motorcycles only. In 1934 two classes of cars were added, Ferrier(GB) with a Singer and Hans Tael (EST) with a Chevrolet taking the class victories. In 1935 Estonian GP racing reached its zenith as the best Finnish drivers and cars took part, Ebb taking the victory with his big Mercedes-Benz SSK. Only 6 drivers turned up for the 1936 race, Patama (Ford) winning from Hallman and Alm. The 1937 event was for motorcycles only. After the war the track continued to be used for motorcycle racing and is still in use. In 1963 the track was shortened to 6 km by building the "Uus kurv" (the new curve). The pits were moved to the straight between "Väike S" and "Kose kurv". |
