Cup of Peace and Friendship
He began his sports career by taking part in rallies, in which he participated, among others, in a Škoda 440.[1] For the 1973 season Patlejch was one of the first competitors to prepare for the new C9 division, modifying a formula 3 car to meet the requirements. In the 1973 season, he made his debut in the Eastern European Cup of Peace and Friendship which he won.[2] He continued to compete in the cup until 1977, not winning the championship again. In 1974 Patlejch did not complete the cup. In the 1975 season, he took seventh place in the Cup, and a year later sixth.[3][4]
