The Estonian Grand Prix was a motor race. Mostly held for motorcycles, three times it was held for cars in the period between the World Wars. The race was established on a road course held between the villages of Pirita and Kose, near Tallinn.
The race was established in 1933 and in 1934 it was first held for cars.[1] In 1935 a collection of Grand Prix style machinery with the race being won by regular Grand Prix racer, Karl Ebb in a Mercedes-Benz SSK ahead of the Bugatti Type 35 of Emil Elo and Asser Wallenius driving a Ford V8 roadster.[2] The poorly attended 1936 race was won by Aleksi Patama but after that the race reverted purely to motorcycle racing.[3]
