With 5 days left till the start, the 41st Rally of Bulgaria is more than just a regular stage in the internal championship due to the fact that it has been included in the World Rally Championship. This can only mean world wide renown drivers, super powerful and fast world rally cars, beautiful Bulgarian scenery, and a great show for spectators.
The 41st Rally of Bulgaria will take place in the picturesque resort Borovets (it got a great mountain bike park), located in the Rila Mountain, in southern Bulgaria. The total length of the competition is 1068 km, the drivers having to race through 14 Special Stages – 353 km – on asphalt. The shakedown will take place on the 7th of July, the ceremonial start will be given in the evening of the following day, and the first day of competition will be Friday, July 9.
The rally will entertain the spectators for 3 days (9-10-11 July) and tickets are available online and in stores like Office 1 Superstore, Internity, and Piccadily. I already got my pass and I will be there on the 10th trying to spot Sebastian Loeb and former Formula 1 driver Kimi Raikkonen. You can find more information about the competition on Rally Bulgaria’s official site. Hope to see you there!
Update: Sebastian Loeb and Dani Sordo put on a show today in Sofia, part of an event organized by Citroen. You can watch a couple of stunts they performed in the following video:
