Two more teams confirmed their participation in Rally Sliven's IRC debut in 2012. These are Castrol Ford Turkey and the romanian Napica Rally Academy.

Two of the turkish team drivers are behind the wheel of Ford Fiesta S2000 - Yagiz Avci and Murat Bostanci, who already has some experience on the stages around Sliven.

Napoca Rally Academy team leader Marco Tempestini is aiming at winning the IRC Production Cup championship this season with a Subaru Impreza.

The romanian team will participate with several cars in the rally, while the organisators of the event are still waiting for confirmation from Castrol Ford Turkey whether any other drivers except Avci and Bostanci will come and take part in the rally. The team has few other crews driving Ford Fiesta R2.
