The KA

Building an EnduroKA is really quite simple. A standard three door MK1 1300cc Ford KA (manufactured between 2002 - 2008) must be used, in right hand drive only. The original KA silhouette must be maintained, except for the variation caused by the fitment of approved front driving lights (during events with night time running) and/or the fitting of wire towing straps in accordance with Motorsport UK regulation Q.19.1.3(b).

In addition to the control items highlighted on the image above, there are a few general requirements from Motorsport UK - the UKs governing body:
