Swift Move: Suzuki’s One-Make Series
I’ve been fascinated by one-make races in which inexpensive, identically-prepared racers let drivers battle it out in a test of skill while on a budget ever since Gran Turismo 2. The Suzuki Swift is a highly acclaimed sporty compact sold in many non-US English speaking nations perfect for just such an activity. New Zealand just wrapped up its road course-based Suzuki Swift Sport Cup and the UK is about to kick off their own rally-oriented version. With the Swift also debuting in WRC this year under the leadership of Pikes Peak legend Nobuhiro “Monster” Tajima, the little Suzuki is poised to be quite the hot hatch.
