txl написа:About Leonidas I translate from a newspaper:
"The biggest surprise was Leonidas' retirement. He left the rally without any failures in the car. The reason for his retirement was that his service made a mistake on the route and couldn't find him for tyre change and refueling before the start of SS11 - Yazovira."
First of all I want to thank for the perfect organization of rally "Albena - Zlatni Piassatzi - Sliven". The organization cannot be compared for example with the rally in France, it was much better and from the previos years when I took part too. The rally is harder, more complex and mainly more concentrated now from which you benefit in time. Crucial were the gravel stages and mostly the four passings of the exceptionally professional stage "Yazovira". The experts can show their high class there and the younger can gain experience. When I saw how many are the Renault 5 Turbos I was a bit scared, I also know very well the performance of Ferjancz, Leonidas, Chubrikov, Petkov. My biggest problem were my otherwise very good mechanics, who don't understand Bulgarian and hardly managed with the roads. Once my car needed a repair and I stopped in somebody else's service. It turned out that they were the mechanics of my biggest rival Ferjancz. In the moment they started work to repair my car. Seconds later Ferjancz himself appeared. I thought that he will expel me but he behaved nobly and waited for me, although he couldn't service his car in time.

Zanini destroyed the suspension of his Talbot on the stage "Elena".
txl написа:Probably it was the stage Tvarditsa. I don't have a map from the rally to see where exactly were the start and final, but from these stages I think it is the closest to the town of Elena.
txl написа:They passed through (or near) Elena between stages SS20 Bebrovo and SS21 Tvarditsa in the day (and between stages SS13 and SS14 - the same but in opposite direction and at night). I spoke with ftabaton from the forum who knows very well this part of the route. He saw the picture and the conclusion is that most probably Zanini broke suspension on SS20 Bebrovo and the picture is taken after the finish of this stage.
