Swift, from Darlington, will drive in the Specsavers Christmas Stages Rally on January 2nd and the Cartersport Jack Frost Rally on January 17th. He’ll be at the wheel of a Ford Escort RS2000 with local co-driver Andrew Lees on navigating duty. Swift won seven national Autotest Championships and competed in the Northern Saloon and Sports Car Championship and Peugeot 206 Supercup before quitting in 2007 to concentrate on his display and stunt driving commitments, These days he performs all over the world as lead driver for the Top Gear Live tour. “Next year were performing in Amsterdam, Australia,
New Zealand & South Africa. I’m doing a lot of work for Ford
too, driving the new Focus RS. That’s how I’ve come to drive
the Mk1 RS2000 that I’ll be using at Croft. Swift, a passionate supporter of local motorsport, also
has another reason for wanting to compete at Croft. “We want to play our part in showing that
motorsport is a popular pastime and that it’s not anti-social,”
he said. Swift and Lees have attracted several sponsors for
their rally programme and would like to say a big thank to the following
people for their support. The team will be also be raising money for the Maximum Attack for Leukaemia Research charity. Click HERE to coninue into the site |
