Paraguayan rally driver Fau Zaldívar concluded the demanding Rally of Estonia in 11th place in the WRC2 Challenger category and 13th in WRC2. The 25-year-old navigated the fast and technical Scandinavian stages in his Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, finishing 26th overall.

Despite facing mechanical problems on Saturday that dropped him from a top-10 position in WRC2, Zaldívar managed to complete the final stages on Sunday. He expressed satisfaction with the weekend's performance, noting that he was the fastest non-Scandinavian driver in WRC2 for much of the rally.

"We closed a good weekend, with several kilometers and a lot of information," Zaldívar stated on social media. "We were the fastest non-Scandinavian in WRC2 for almost the entire rally and fought within the top 10 in the category, which leaves us satisfied and motivated to continue for more."

Zaldívar's next challenge will be the Rally of Finland, scheduled from July 30 to August 2, as part of the World Rally Championship. He thanked his supporters for their encouragement.
