(24.04.09) BTC ADSL Rally Team to Race to Victory in Vida 2009 Rally

BTC ADSL Rally Team's Dimiter Iliev and Yanaki Yanakiev will be at the start of the National Rally Championship late this week. The two will be racing in one of the best known Bulgarian competitions, the Vida Rally (May 17, 2009). With a history of more than 20 years, the rally was revived two years ago after a long break.

Bulgaria's five-time rally champion Dimiter Iliev has won all editions of the competition after it was re-included as a round of the Bulgarian rally championship. A third victory will make Mitko a freeman of the town of Vidin - a title he will receive personally from Vidin Mayor Roumen Vidov.

After a difficult start of the season and dropping from the Trayanovi Vrata Rally over a fault of the turbo-compressor, Dimiter Iliev and Yanaki Yanakiev will try to be their best in the Vidin rally. The two are real fast on the Belogradchik and Granitovo stages, and are among the favourites for the title.

The race starts Sunday (May 17) and is scheduled to include six special stages. The last of these is also Bulgaria's only super special stage and will be held on what used to be the Vidin Fair grounds.

The finish and the presenting ceremony will take place in Vidin's Bdintsi Square at 17:00 hrs.
