All Smiles at Swift Open Day

As organisers of the Swift Rallycross Championships, Peter Gwynne Motorpsort Ltd  held an Open Day near Silverstone offering adults and juniors the chance to sample the Rallycross Suzuki Swifts.

Visitors from Rallying, Karting and Car Show Supporters attended to drive the swifts along with a number of youngsters taking the Junior Swift for a spin including Aaron Mullen, younger brother of 2012 Swift Sport Rallycross Champion Chris Mullen.

Under the guidance of Peter Gwynne, 10 year old Mini Mullen did not take long to get the car sliding and show he planned to be following in his older brothers successful footsteps.

Another youngster with a love for Motorsport, Alex Tait had a surprise visit when his parents brought him along for an afternoon driving the Junior Swift after he raved about the swifts since their visit to Mallory Park earlier this month where at the age of 15 Tait was already marshalling, assisting on the dummy grid. 

Tait explained 'I am keen to learn all areas of Motorsport and feel it beneficial to learn both sides of racing, if I know how a race meeting runs and how it works in the paddock it will help if I get the opportunity to race.  I am already helping on Sixth Gear Experience days,my dream is to get my ARDS licence, rally licence, and be educated in all aspects of driving to then help others.'
