Maybe it's time to put something here about the Belgian Junior championship that is going to be organized next year, it will run in the same (8) events as the Belgian championship. The championship is open for drivers with any nationality born AFTER 1987. Drivers from any country can enter the junior championship if they send an entry-form, except if they have (had) a FIA-priority status. The championship is open for all cars from R1 and R2 class.

The point system: Drivers will get points for their overall classification and for the classification in their class within the junior-championship.
Points overall: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1, like the old WRC-system.
For the championship-classification they add the points of your class, also: 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1.
On top of that there is one point for each fastest time in your class (you must be fastest in your class, not just junior, if someone outside the championship is faster in that certain stage, you don't get the extra point).

Several importers have been showing their interests in the rallying by organizing trophies/cups and/or promising prize-money for drivers who do well:

- Skoda is giving 1500 euros to the fastest Fabia (R2 or RS) in general classification, 1000 to 2nd, 500 to 3rd. Also Fabia RS is counted with those, but not included in the junior-championship. On top of that a driver who wins his class (R2 or M15 for the Fabia RS) gets another 2000 euros. That's for each event.

- Citroën is having their Belgian trophy again, with DS3 R3 and DS3 R1 (not with C2 Max anymore). The trophy has 6 events (Sankt-Wendel Rally - DE, Rallye de Wallonie, Ypres Rally, Omloop van Vlaanderen, Rally of Luxembourg - LU, Rallye du Condroz), of which 4 are in the junior championship too (for those who drive an R1), the trophy is seperated in R3 and R1, both have own classification, with same point system as in WRC.
Prizes for R1 in the Citroën Racing Trophy:
1st. 1500 euros cash, 500 euros Citroën Racing parts, 2 pirelli tyres.
2nd. 700 euros cash, 400 euros Citroën Racing parts, 2 pirelli tyres.
3rd. 100 euros cash, 200 euros Citroën Racing parts, 2 pirelli tyres.
4th. 100 euros cash, 150 euros Citroën Racing parts, 2 pirelli tyres.

2nd. 2000 euros cash and 1000 euros parts.
3rd. 1000 euros cash and 700 euros parts.
4th. 500 euros parts.

- Peugeot is having their Peugeot Rally Cup in Belgium, supported by Peugeot Sport and Kronos Racing. The cup counts for 6 of the 8 events of the Belgian (junior) championship. The entry fee for driver and codriver together is 1500 euros. Not much info about point-systems yet. There is also a lot of prize-money from Peugeot Belux, for each event:
1st. 3000 euros (and another 1000 if you win in junior-classification)
2nd. 2000 euros.
3rd. 1500 euros.
4th. 1000 euros.
5th. 500 euros.
50% of it is paid cash, another 50% is for Peugeot-parts.

- Ford will have a Fiesta Sport Trophy (R2 and perhaps R1, I don't know about it yet) again, with 6 events (probably 5 in BRC and 1 in Luxembourg), no more details about that yet. Also works with similar prize-money as the others I described above this here.

Maybe there is more to come... All Belgian importers are very enthousiast about this junior championship project.
