On the first Super Special Stage on Saturday the team managed 1st place for the stage after very attractive driving, as fans and pilots later said. The stages which K. Benchev and Al. Spirov drove for first time in their racing career was extremely dangerous, technical and various. Stage SS8 “ Devina” contains many different types of ground: gravel, asphalt , water, fraction, jumps and various types of corners. The race car of the team is a good known Subaru Impreza GC8, with which the team took the second place on the winter Rally Sprint Borovetz- Samokov. On the start of the second stage “ Devina” broke the drive shaft. The team continued the race on 3 wheels drive, which made the task even harder. Apart of the technical problem, K. Benchev and Al. Spirov managed to get to the final with very good time which guide them to the highest place on the podium. They took cups for 1st place in general ranking and first place in Group Ranking. This left the second in their group I. Petkov on 2:08:80 minutes behind for 50 km distance . The second team of “ Dunev Racing team” : Docho Tzvyatkov/ Linda Bagerova get to the 2nd place in their group and contributed for the 1st place in the Team Ranking.
