2025 SWIFT SPORT CHAMPIONSHIP PRIZE
The 2025 Swift Sport Rallycross Champion will earn a coveted test opportunity with Olsbergs MSE (OMSE) in one of their sister companies (First Corner) FC4 Supercar Lites, marking a significant milestone in the championship's commitment to driver progression. This prestigious prize creates a clear pathway for Swift champions looking to advance their careers in European motorsport.
The announcement comes as the Swift Sport Rallycross Championship enters its sixteenth season and introduces several groundbreaking developments that reinforce its position as the premier one-make championship within the 5 Nations British Rallycross Championship.
In an exciting expansion of the championship's international presence, the 2025 calendar will now feature an overseas excursion to Eurocircuit in Valkenswaard, Netherlands, scheduled for August 23-24, (subject to ASN approval). This European round demonstrates the championship's commitment to providing drivers with valuable international racing experience and exposure to premier European venues.
For 2025, the championship also introduces an innovative Driver Development Programme, designed to create complete motorsport professionals. "The opportunity to offer our Swift Sport Champion a test in the FC4 Supercar Lite is a game-changing moment for our championship. Having had drivers such as Kevin Hansen and Patrick O'Donovan begin their rallycross journey with us and now seeing them at the top of the sport is fantastic!," said Sarah Watson, Championship co-creator.
"We want to continue building a strong foundation for our drivers and with the evolving landscape of motorsport, particularly in social media and sponsorship acquisition, our new Driver Development Programme will equip competitors with the comprehensive skill set needed for aid their progression. Now, thanks to this incredible opportunity from OMSE / First Corner, we can offer a clear pathway to international rallycross success."
Strengthening this progression pathway further, OMSE / First Corner and Eurocircuit are offering an exclusive invitation to the Swift Championship drivers to attend the RallyX event at Eurocircuit, Valkenswaard on April 26-27, 2025. This unique opportunity includes a behind-the-scenes tour of the OMSE / First Corner paddock where the FC4 Supercar Lite and the new FC2 will be on display with a chance to experience firsthand the next step in their potential rallycross career, whilst also preparing drivers for their own championship round at the same venue later in the season.
The championship calendar features rounds across renowned venues including Lydden Hill (UK), Mondello Park (IRE), and Pembrey Circuit (Wales), maintaining its strong presence in British motorsport while embracing international opportunities.
The Swift Rallycross Championships continues to offer both Junior (ages 13+) and Swift Sport categories, maintaining its commitment to developing talent through its proven one-make format. With equally powered Suzuki Swifts, the focus remains firmly on driver ability rather than budget.
