What is the EAL Gala?

The EAL Gala is the premier annual event in Estonian motorsport and automotive culture, where the season’s best drivers, teams, officials, and supporters from all motorsport disciplines are recognized. Throughout the evening, special awards and challenge trophies are also presented, and the Estonian Car of the Year is announced – an accolade given by Estonia’s top automotive journalists to the best model introduced to the market during the year.

The program is spiced up with interviews featuring interesting personalities, and both bars and table service are available. The evening concludes with a concert by the popular band Smilers.

This flagship event brings together sportsmanship, elegance, and gratitude on one stage – honoring those who have helped advance Estonian motorsport.
