This project has come about after having conversations with customers that either currently compet for us to run in this classe or would like to compete but are put of by the potential costs involved with building maintaning and running a car.
The car this project will be based on is a humble 1.3 Ford Ka. We will be building it for the hills and to sprint in the roadgoing production class we will also be doing the odd trackday init.
Their is a couple of reasons behind our choices
1 This car is perfect to have as a 2nd familly car and sits well next to our everyday Zafira (i actually used it for this last night to take my son to his athletics club) this coupled to the fact that the insurance/tax and mpg are good and general maintance costs are low stand to make it finacially viable.
2, for us to run in this class we have to retain the interior which helps to keep practical as a road car unlike my roadlegal caged up track car.
3, I know it will never count as a "hot hatch" but it is good fun to throw around but once breathed upon will make for a fun toy that ticks allot of boxes.
