Mikkelsen should be sure, thought he would do everything..

[Mirek]

I think for Škoda Motorsport Kopecký is more likely there than Hänninen. I expect him to start in Rajd Polski instead.

About the stages - superspecial street stage in Friday. 4 stages twice in first day, same stages in reverse twice in second day. The rally is very compact and maybe one of most compact in calendar.

[PLuto]

So only four stages (made three times)? Not so much...

[V.Gatev]

The stages are four - they will be in 2 directions twice times every day. The route is made to be compact and cheap for drivers and teams. In this region the are many many stages which are one of best in Europe, but total distance will be very big. This year stages are excelent - uphill and downhills, different types of tarmac and grip, fast and technical, bumpy of some places. The rally have great potential and everyone who will come will see it.

It is possible that more Turkish crews will be there. Skoda Motorsport Yüce Oto Türkiye(Under Pegasus Racing support which service Rossetti and Fatih Kara last year.) will possibily attend to Sliven too. No final decision but Luca Rossetti, Burak Çukurova, Volkan Işık (3 Fabia S2000) and Fatih Kara (Punto S2000) will be there too.

And Ford Motorsport Türkiye team possibily add Fiesta R2 drivers Orhan Avcioglu and Emre Yurdakul too.

I will let u know when its all these get clear

[V.Gatev]

Fantastic news. Will be great to watch all best turkish drivers on our best rally and best stages. Will be great!
