SHANNONS NATIONALS presenting partner Hi-Tec Oils will support young driving talent in 2012 after announcing major sponsorship of the Swift Racing Series, a key Shannons Nationals category. The Hi-Tec Oils Swift Racing Series features one-make racing with identical Suzuki Swift cars with only limited modifications, ensuring close and competitive racing.
The series is geared to becoming a launching pad for young drivers to gain wheel-to-wheel racing experience at the most affordable budget possible. “This is an ideal one-make motor racing series and we can see the potential,” Hi-Tec Oils Managing Director George Gambino said.
After a very successful inaugural year the Australian Swift racing series has already become a talking point within the motor sport industry as a category to watch as the 2012 season unfolds. The 2011 series featured a number of talented Karters obtaining their CAMS national licences and making the transition to National Circuit racing on an achievable budget.
Australian Swift series management wish to continue debuting fresh talent from the Karting ranks and putting that talent in front of the mainstream motorsport industry and media.
Five new drivers and two old hands took to the track at the Gold Coast’s Norwell driver training centre last week in the first of a series of test sessions to kick off activities for the 2012 Swift Racing Series.
Rob Whyte (Monster Energy 350Z Pilot) and 16 year old national Karting driver Lucas Ward were two of the standouts of the new drivers that tested the exciting Swift Sport race car. Both drivers are keen to join the Swift Racing Series in 2012.
All drivers were able to experience each of the three cars on hand. Once again the feedback was all about consistency and the only thing different about the cars were the colour.
