Sofia’s city council has approved the construction of a drag racing track on the outskirts of the city. The decision follows a proposal by Ivan Takov, chairman of the transport committee, aimed at addressing the issue of illegal street racing occurring on city boulevards at night. The new facility is intended to provide a safe and legal venue for drivers seeking to experience high speeds. Council members hope the track will deter dangerous and disruptive racing activities within the city limits. Specific details regarding the location and construction timeline have not yet been released. The move reflects a proactive approach to road safety and public order concerns. Funding sources for the project are also yet to be determined.
