'''Super 1600''' is a [[Rallying|rally car]] formula that is primarily used in the [[Junior World Rally Championship]], as well as various national rally championships. Any automobile manufacturer that has a suitable road-going production model in its range may develop a specification for use in this formula. It was devised by the [[Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile]] (the international governing body of motorsport) in 2000 and first saw competitive use in 2001. Super 1600 is intended to provide a young driver's entry point into international rallying,  and the [[World Rally Championship]] in particular.

==Technical details==
===Eligibility===
Most FIA-approved rally car formulae are in some way production-based, from Super 1600 to World Rally car specification. This necessitates a process of [[homologation]] in which a suitable production road car design is modified within the limits of a formula's technical regulations. Such changes may include modified or entirely new parts in the engine, gearbox, suspension, bodywork and so on. In the Super 1600 (contracted; show full)

As with the [[World Rally Car]] specification, Super 1600 requires a production-standard bodyshell that is made safe for competition with the addition of a [[roll cage]]. Certain other modifications can be made to increase the width of the bodywork and improve its [[Automotive aerodynamics|aerodynamic]] efficiency. The weight of the competition car is reduced to a minimum of 980[[Kilogram|kg]], with a lower minimum weight of 920
&nbsp;kg if an engine with only two valves per cylinder is employed.<ref>[http://www.fia-nez.eu/pdf/regulations/reg_nezchamp06_rc.pdf Super 1600 Technical Regulations, 2006] ''Article 12''.</ref> In most cases, this is approximately 50 to 100&nbsp;kg less than the weight of the production car version; the 1.6ltr [[Citroën C2]], for example, weighs 1084&nbsp;kg.<ref>[http://www.citroen.co.uk/level4/technicalSpecification.asp?pagetype=c2&style=&infoID=21 C2 Technical Specifications] ''citroen.co.uk''.
