Yes you will need a roll cage, plumbed in fire extinguishers, proper seats and belts, crash helmet, cut off switch, mud flaps etc. You can read the regulations atLink to MSA Blue Book. I will say again far and away the best thing to do would be to buy a car that has already been prepared and has the necessary MSA Competition logbook. Yes you will need a co-driver. The best way might be to find someone local to you who would help with preparing the car etc.
What would be an ideal car for the 1.0 formula 1000 i have been looking at either nissan micra, peugeot 106 or a citreon saxo
They sound sensible ideas but my advice is to go along to a Formula 1000 event and talk to the drivers. People will be give you lots of advice.
