Oil company Mabanol will be the official sponsor of Sliven Rall, round 11 of Intercontinental Challenge.

Thanks to the ex-president of the Bulgarian Motorsport Association, Mr. Alexander Alexandrov, Mabanol will help financially the competition, which turns to be the saviour of the rally.

"My engagement with this rally has ever been serious. Everybody knows that I was trying to stay aside all these problems, but I just couldn't resist and decided to help Bulgaria have two significant rallies this year. I have alway thought that Sliven Rally is a very strong and very well organised event" - said Alexander Alexandrov.

"What Mabanol and Mr. Alexandrov did is very important for us. They support us in a very difficult moment and prove that they have always been supportive to the motor sports in Bulgaria" - said the Deputy Clerk of the Course Atanas Chanev.
