So, from 2002 on the rally changed its name one more time and from Rally Albena (the last name from 2001) it became Rally Bulgaria. This also came with the change of the location of the event as well - after 32 years on the seaside, the new HQ was based about 500 km to the West - in the ski resort Borovets, which is located in the Rila Mountain. The route of the rally, of course, was completely new which caused many discussions among the participants and keen rally fans whether the change was good or not. Despite that, over the years, the rally created its new famous places like the so-called Turkish Parking and the road along the picturesque Belmeken Dam.
