Loading... Please wait...| Introducing a new Mini chassis designated M03-M with body based on the popular Suzuki Swift, which made its racing debut in the 2005 Junior World Rally Championship (JWRC). The Junior World Rally Championship is a companion series to the WRC, restricted to drivers under age 28 driving 2WD vehicles. The new Suzuki Swift was unveiled at the 2004 Paris Auto Salon, as the company�s ambitious strategy against European small car makers. The Swift Super 1600 made its racing debut at Round 5 - Rally of Finland of the JWRC. Despite suffering a tire puncture, the Swift made an impressive 3rd place finish for a spot on the podium. English driver Guy Wilks scored another 3rd place finish in the following Round 6 in Germany. Unfortunate accidents in the final Round 7 kept the Swift off the podium, but the car�s impressive potential helped driver Wilks score second overall in the points ranking.
