Stoyan Mechkov will be on the start of 36th Rally "Sliven" behind the wheel of exclusively atractive rally car. Local pilot prepares for nearly six months replica of racing Renault Clio Maxi Kit Car of his idol - French legend Jean Ragnotti.The aim of the driver of the local rally club "Scorpions" is the car to be as similar as possible to the technical parameters of the legendary car.

"It started as a joke at the end of last season. After the rally "Sredna gora " we decided to disassemble my recce car Renault Clio Williams and turn it into a replica of Ragnotti's car. I will not forget 31-st December, when I took the body of Plamen Panteleev's workshop in Ruse, who had just finished the rollcage of the car", said for the website of rally Sliven Stoyan Mechkov.

The car will have a 6-speed sequential gearbox, big brakes and specialized parts from Renault Sport.

"Initially I wanted the car to be ready for Rally "Bulgaria ", but as usual the time for preparation of this type of car is not enough. It will be difficult task for me, because for the first time I'll drive a car with a sequential gearbox and with so agressive brakes, but I hope I will have enough time to get used to the car and will have the opportunity to test is before the start.

I would like to thank to the people who helped me to make this happen- the team manager Zhivko Minchev and the mechanics Yuri Samoilov and Nikolay Panayotov", concluded the pilot of "Scorpion".
