Rally career
Mõlder made his WRC debut at 2009 Rally Finland, where he was the navigator of compatriot Georg Gross in a Subaru Impreza STi N12.[1] His most successful part of career was with Ott Tänak.[2]
Mõlder achieved his first podium finish at 2015 Rally Poland.[3] A year later, at 2016 Rally Poland, it could be a victory until a puncture dropped the Estonian crew down to second.[4]
Mõlder and Tänak garnered mainstream attention during the third stage of 2015 Rally México, Los Mexicanos, when the Estonian crew crashed their Ford Fiesta RS WRC into a lake, but both Mõlder and Tänak were able to extract themselves from the car prior to it submerging.[5] The car was recovered from the lake before repaired by the M-Sport World Rally Team and dubbed the TiTänak[6] — a portmanteau of the RMS Titanic passenger liner, that sank in 1912, and Tänak's name.[7] They re-joined the rally on Sunday, finishing 22nd overall and scoring a manufacturers' championship point.[8]
