]urabus-denoS2000: I don't know much but as far as I know there are categories A1-A4 according to engine volume and H1-H4 for historical cars (1986 and older) + race of regularity (I don't know how is it in English). There are 6 events of Rally Cup (there is also another series called Volný pohár = Free cup). For example last rally had 2 stages both about 10 km gone twice in both directions, that is around 80 km. Only five best results are counted. Crew members must be 18 years old, drivers must have driving licence. Cars must have some safety equipment like rollcage (except regularity class), fire extinguisher, at least 4-points seat belts etc. Entry fee is usualy maximum 200 Euro and less for smaller cars.

It is more or less the same here.
We have classes Sprint (1400-1600),Supersport(1600-2000) and Prosport (+2000).
Basic safety equipment is required and around 80-90 km of special stages.
The only problem is that there are no "ORC cars" (cars specifically built for ORC),all of the cars are FIA homologated.But guys are starting to built ORC cars in their garages and things should be better in the not so distant future

Ja is very young tallented Czech driver (in June he was 18). This year he was competing with old Peugeot 206 RC in A7, you can look at result of Rally Prachatice, which was on water (http://mmcr.vysledky-rally.cz/rallys...tice/9abs.php). But he has never starts abroad. But in future he can be very, very good
