Bulgaria will bid to host a Formula One race in the near future, according to the Bulgarian Motorcycling Federation (BMF).
"It'll be very difficult but I think we'll succeed," BMF's president Bogdan Nikolov told Bulgarian news sources on Monday.
Nikolov said they would submit a plan and an application to the International Automobile Federation (FIA) on December 15 for consideration by Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone the following day. According to the plan, a circuit is to be built near the Balkan country's northern town of Pleven.
Bulgaria is due to host a round of the World Rally Championship in 2010 and hope to host a round of motorcycling's MotoGP in 2011.
