A record entry is expected at the Memorial Valeri Velikov this coming weekend. 75 drivers have entered for the first round of the Bulgarian Hillclimb Championship. This confirms the 3,35 kilometre long hillclimb near Shumen as the premier hillclimb in Bulgaria. Among the 75 drivers are also many from other disciplines. As the Memorial Valeri Velikov is the first major motorsport event of the year it is a perfect test for many.
On top of the entrylist is a car totally unique for Bulgaria. Stefan Stoev is entered in a Silver Car EF10. The last few seasons Stoev competed in a Honda Civic with great succes. He should certainly be capable of top results in his new car.
Reigning champion Julian Telyiski has updated his Mitsubishi Lancer for the 2018 season. The car is fitted with a more powerful engine and a new aero package. Hristo Manolov won the event last year and is aiming for another victory. In 2017 Ilya Tsarski went from one incident to another which prevented him from driving most races. The former champion is hoping for a fresh start in Shumen.
