1986 Estonia 21.10 Asmer

Toivo Asmer, another prominent USSR racing driver from Estonia, had a long and successful motorsport career. After taking third place in the Soviet Formula 4 classification in 1974, Asmer won the title in 1975–1976, while in the 1977 season he was vice-champion. Then he moved to the Soviet Formula 3, where after taking second (1978 ) and third (1979) place in the classification, he became the champion in the 1980 season. From 1981 he participated in the Soviet and Estonian Formula Easter. In Estonia he was champion in 1985 and 1987–1988, while in the USSR he won the championship titles in 1985 and 1988, and was vice-champion of the Soviet Union in the 1984, 1986 and 1989 seasons. He also raced in the Peace and Friendship Cup, taking third place in the classification in 1988 and second a year later. In 1990 he was champion of the Soviet Formula 1600, while in the 1990–1991 seasons he was vice-champion of the Estonian version of the series.

The model represents Asmer’s Estonia 21.10 from the 1986 Peace and Friendship Cup. He started in 3 out of 7 rounds of the series in 1986, taking 2nd place at Bikernieki circuit in Riga, Latvia, and was  6th at Poznan, Poland. If the Estonia 21 car itself was an attempt to imitate Formula 1, then the paint job of Asmer’s car is nothing more than a replica of the famous Marlboro-McLaren livery.
