(15.07.09) BTC ADSL Rally Team with ambition for successful final in the jubilee Rally Bulgaria

BTC ADSL Rally Team will be racing in the 40th jubilee edition of Rally Bulgaria due at the end of this week. By tradition, the rally is a round of the European Rally Championship, while this year it is a candidate for a round in the World Rally Championship this year.

A brief look at the applications by entrants shows that it is going to be a strong rally: 15 foreign teams have applied to participate.

After a difficult start of the season and dropping out from the Rally Trayanovi Vrata and Rally Stari Stolitsi over technical problems, Dimitar Iliev and Yanaki Yanakiev of BTC ADSL Rally Team are set for a victory in Borovets. The two aspire for a strong and memorable drive in the jubilee Rally Bulgaria.

Five-time Bulgarian rally champion Dimitar Iliev cherishes unforgettable moments from past editions of the Borovets event. In 2007, he became the second Bulgarian pilot after Ilia Chubrikov to triumph at the most important Bulgarian rally.

The same year he came close to winning the European rally title.

The event opens Friday evening (July 17) with a ceremonial start at Borovets' Rila Hotel. The rally itself is scheduled for the next two days (July 18-19) with a total of 12 stretches, six each day.
