Following a successful inaugural season, the Australian Swift Racing Series has started the new year on a high with considerable interest coming from new drivers and teams. To top this off there will be an exciting series sponsorship announcement very shortly.
"Our first year was all about development and looking back on it we actually had a great year", said the Swift Series' Shaun Keeley. "However, we are looking to consolidate the series 2012 with expanded grid numbers and additional support in many areas".
"They are great little cars and apart from our circuit racing program we are also providing opportunities for our teams to run production car endurance events, which proved to be a winning formula at the recent Eastern Creek 6 Hour", said Keeley.
"We are also encouraging our teams to use the cars in Tarmac Rally, Hill Climb and club events, so they are very versatile and surprisingly affordable."
THE 2012 AUSTRALIAN SWIFT RACING SERIES
A CAMS sanctioned national motor racing series conducted over 7 rounds in four states of Australia. The tracks include Eastern Creek, Mallala, Winton, Queensland Raceway, Wakefield Park and Sandown.
All rounds are run with the prestigious Shannons Nationals Series, which reflects the national status of the series.
The television package includes SBS Speedweek, Fox Speed Shannons Nationals & Inside Speed, as well as live Internet on race day at itvlive.com.au.
