Our first major considerations were the overall size of the car, its wheelbase and its track. The KA has a nice windscreen rake which also gives it long doors and hence a reasonably sized passenger cell. After exhaustive research the only car that ticked all our boxes was the Ford KA shell with which we were extremely well versed in, anything else was either too small, too large, too square or just too heavy. Safety was paramount in the R4 design and so we decided it was advantageous to use a steel passenger cell section, complimented with a steel chassis/spaceframe.įor ease of manufacture and cost implications we decided it would be best to use an existing car for the passenger shell needs. The weight of the Escort was a major surprise to Colin, it being approximately 300 kgs lighter than his regular WRC spec machines, and so weight saving became a huge factor in the R4 design and as important to Colin as it has always been to us. We started planning the R4 during the latter half of 2003, with the immediate considerations being what cross over information we could use from the development of the soon to be finished Escort, the main areas of interest were initially vehicle weight and balance, engine, transmission and brakes. Someone on that day said to Colin how cool it would be to have his own car and with it, no contractual problems, and so as they say the R4 was born. He had taken a great deal of interest in our DJM KA, so named because of the vast amount of changes made to it compared to a normal Ford KA and because of these changes the cars are registered new, but not as a ford.
