The Bulgarian Hillclimb Championship continued this weekend with the Bulgarka Hillclimb near Sliven. It became one of the closest battles for victory in a while. Hristo Manolov was the fastest driver in practise. However Iliya Tsarski had some small problems before the third practise so could not start. The benefit of this was that Tsarski had better tyres on Sunday. And that showed in the times as Tsarski took the lead in the first race. Manolov than countered with fastest time in the second race. All would be decided in the third and final race of the weekend. Manolov drove an almost equal time with his second race before. But it was not enough to take victory as Tsarski set fastest time of the weekend. The final difference between the two after three races was just .77 seconds! Juliyan Teliiski came just a little short on the leaders and ginished six seconds down in third. Stefan Stoev was once again best 2-wheel-drive car. Despite his Honda Civic not working properly he also finished fourth overall.
