VIVACOM Rally Team is the team of the five-time champion in the Bulgarian Rally Championship Dimitar Iliev and the navigator Yanaki Yanakiev. In 2009 VIVACOM for the first time supported a team of the National Rally Championship and chose its new model person that fully reflects the values and goals of a dynamic and efficient telecom. The company invests in the Bulgarian automobile sports and supports one of the best Bulgarian teams and sportsmen in this discipline as their successes are successes of the whole Bulgarian nation. In this case, too, the choice of a sport is based entirely on one of the corporate values - dynamism. The Iliev and Yanakiev''s team is now called VIVACOM Rally Team because rally sports are distinguished by dynamism and high speed, just as the telecommunication services offered by VIVACOM.

"We focus on our customers and work not only to satisfy their telecommunication needs but also for their hobbies and preferences. We know that Mitko has a lot of fans among our customers and it was him that we wanted to support because we are the leading telecom in the country and being such we want to be associated only with the best", he added during the first presentation of the new team in the spring of 2009 in front of the Telephone Palace in Sofia.

"We are very happy to be backed by the biggest telecom in Bulgaria and we are grateful for the support that gives us new confidence and more ambitions to defend our champion titles", shares Mitko Iliev.
