Rally 2010
The paddock was set up in Borovets , where the ceremonial start also took place. The special stages largely consisted of narrow, winding, paved mountain roads. Thirteen of the fourteen planned special stages were started in and around the winter sports area in the Rila Mountains. The 24.86 km long special stage 7 had to be canceled for safety reasons due to the crowds. The total length including connecting stages was 1223.07 kilometers and ended again in this rally at the finish in Borovets.
The 2010 rally ended with a quadruple victory for Citroën. The reigning world champion Sébastien Loeb in the Citroën C4 WRC achieved his fourth win of the season and the 58th victory of his career.
