Suzuki is unique in offering a manufacturer backed one-make rally series in the UK and is the only manufacturer with a presence in BRC, JRC and WRC. Six crews have already signed up for this exciting and cost-effective way into rallying, five of whom will be in attendance at the event.

The Swift Sport Cup is powered by a 1.6VVT (Variable Valve Timing) 123hp engine and built by the works Monster Sport Europe team. The team will also cover factory re-preparation after each round, transport to and from events, provide Swift Sport awning and ground sheet, factory support with technical advice and on-event parts supply.
