The Memorial Valeri Velikov was stopped after an accident during the third and final race of the day. The first round of the Bulgarian Hillclimb Championship was nearly completed when driver Nikolay Georgiev lost control of his BMW. He clipped a curbstone which flipped the car over. The BMW left the track and hit a group of spectators. Six persons were hurt, five of them needed to be transported to a hospital. At the moment four of the injured already have been released from the hospital. The organisers have offered financial support to all the injured.
The final classifications were decided on the first two races that were completed. Hristo Manolov was declared the winner. He set a new trackrecord in the first race of the day. Champion Julian Telyiski was just .1 seconds slower than Manolov in the first race. However in the second race he lost a bit of time which prevented him from further challenging the leader. Local driver Martin Surilov completed the podium after winning Group R.
Stefan Stoev debuted his new Silver Car EF10 in Shumen. He had barely driven the car before this weekend. Yet Stoev was immediately rather quick. In Saturday practise Stoev set the third fastest time overall. Mechanical failure on Sunday morning saw him retire early.
