Miroslav Angelov, Megaport Racing driver: "It is a very good tradition that the stages for Monbat Rally Sliven for the third time are changing.The Sliven Balkan gives the best conditions for practicing our sport in Bulgaria.The stages are faster than these in the first round in Tvarditsa. There are long stages, with multiple changes of the surface, in the width of the road.This with the variable weather means that the levels of grip will change constantly.The competition will really be roulette due to the choice of tires and the change of the weather. Our car really has an advantage over two-wheel drive cars, but on the other hand, I have more experience in selecting front-wheel drive tires, and we will probably put on soft tires for the start of the race rather than pure wet. "

Edi Sivov, Megapart Racing co-driver: "This is my home race and I am so happy to be here with this car. The configuration of the stages is great, I like it, especially the two long stages on Saturday, there are many running waters, in the shady places the asphalt does not dull, where we cut the corners will have mud and it will be very difficult to stay on the road, but I hope for a successful race, to find good choice of tires and to present us properly“.
