1993-'97: 1800cc and 1600cc engines

The year 1993 saw the introduction of the 1800cc Zetec engine to the Dutch and Benelux championship. It had a slow start so the older 1600cc Kent engine was maintained to keep competition numbers up. Even so in 1994 there were no participants in the 1800cc championship.
