The season starts on 1 May — and it starts at A1 Motor Park.
Premium Rally Sofia–St. Vlas is the most exclusive automotive road trip event in Bulgaria. For 2026, the opening chapter is a dedicated track day at A1 Motor Park — Bulgaria's new FIA Grade 3 circuit near Samokov — before the convoy departs toward the Black Sea coast.
What is Discover Bulgaria?
This is not a race. It is something harder to explain and easier to experience.
The format combines a morning track session at A1 Motor Park with a multi-day road trip across Bulgaria, ending at the luxury vineyard retreat Gallery Aya Estate in St. Vlas. The cars are real — Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren — and the roads are chosen for exactly that kind of company.
For 2026, four organisations have come together to make the A1 Motor Park session something genuinely special: Speed Sector, Supercars Run, and Falcon Rally join Premium Rally to fill the circuit with the most spectacular machinery the Balkans has to offer.
The Programme — 1 May 2026
09:00 · A1 Motor Park, Samokov
The day opens with track sessions — open driving in an environment that was designed exactly for this. Multiple track configurations, FIA-grade infrastructure, and a paddock full of cars that most people only see in photographs.
Alongside the track action, the organisers have added something new: an outdoor fitness session "Cars & Gym" with Pulse, running in the paddock during the day. The idea is simple — if you are already at a racetrack, you might as well use the whole facility.
After A1, the convoy heads east. The evening destination is Gallery Aya Estate, a vineyard retreat chosen specifically because it is the kind of place you want to arrive at after a day like this.
The Cars
The participant list is not published in advance, but the event brief is clear: the most attractive supercars from the Balkans, gathered in one place, for one morning on a circuit that opened less than two months ago.
This is the first event of this kind to take place at A1 Motor Park. Worth seeing in person.
Tickets
The event is open to spectators. Tickets from 10 EUR at kupibileti.bg.
