DIMITAR ILIEV (BUL, Skoda Fabia S2000): "I can not tell you how happy I am. This was a very tough rally for us and it was hard to keep pushing in every stage, especially in SS Stara reka. There was a lot of fraction there. I want to thank my whole team for this great victory. There were lots of incidents because the stages are very difficult. It was very slippery and next year we should take care of that."

YANAKI YANAKIEV, DIMITAR ILIEV CO-DRIVER: "I am very happy for this result. This is our first big victory in such a great series. We overcame all the obstacles and our only concern was SS Kantona (reversed SS Stara reka). It was a real nightmare for all the drivers."

PETAR GYOSHEV (BUL, Peugeot 207 S2000): "We knew from before that this was going to be a very tough rally and that SS Stara reka was going to be very difficult for us. The stages here are great – very fast and very technical. Dimitar was very fast and he deserved to win. We had some moments but we are lucky enough to be here, so we are happy."

DIMITAR SPASOV, PETAR GYOSHEV CO-DRIVER: "We are happy to make it to the final. It was a very tough rally for us. I congratulate all my competitors! I hope next year we will do better."

KRUM DONCHEV (BUL, Peugeot 207 S2000): "It was a tough rally for us, but still it was nice. We had a puncture on Saturday and that left us with no chances to fight for the win. To be part of the Intercontinental Rally Challenge here in Bulgaria is something unique for us. The atmosphere was great and we felt that we were part of something very professional. I thank all the fans and my team that we could take part in this rally. I hope there will be more rallies like this one in the future. SS Stara reka for sure was very difficult, but rallying is dangerous and we have to adapt quickly. Let's take Rally Monte Carlo as an example – we start with slick tyres and we finish on ice without any information about that in the pace notes. We just have to adapt and that is it."

PETAR YORDANOV, KRUM DONCHEV CO-DRIVER: "Our opponents were very fast. We did not have luck – we had a puncture and we hit troubles. We still enjoyed the stages. I hope that next year we will have more luck and we will be faster."
