South Africa's premier single seater racing championship, Investchem MSA4 took over from Investchem Formula 1600, which had its roots in Formula Ford. Powered by a downsized turbocharged Volkswagen engine, the stronger, far safer, and completely re-engineered WCT Engineering-developed MSA4 cars are loosely based on the former Formula 1600 machines. The new MSA4 car is designed to race efficiently and competitively in South Africa and other emerging market single seater race series.
A traditional Formula 4 car is based on a far more expensive to build and maintain carbonfibre monocoque chassis, but a MSA4 machine goes back to basics and is built around a sophisticated and completely redeveloped spaceframe chassis using the same materials in the manufacture of top class Dakar cars. MSA4 also features halo-inspired head protection and a survival cell similar to Formula 1.
To further contain costs, the new MSA4 cars’ transmission, differential, all suspension components, brakes, front and rear wings, and several other components remain identical to the old F1600 cars. MSA4 however adopts new ‘mini-F1’ bodywork and will run on slightly fatter slick tyres and new wider, centre lock wheels.
