New Zealand’s top female rally driver, Emma Gilmour, will drive a Suzuki Swift Sport in this weekend’s Rally of Waitomo. Gilmour and co-driver, Glenn MacNeall, will use the all tarmac event to test one of the new 2007 (1600cc) Suzuki Swift Sport Cup cars.
Ten of the Suzukis will be built to compete in the 1600cc class in the Production Car Cup over the summer motor-racing series in New Zealand, and Gilmour will use the tarmac roads of the Waitomo Rally to make sure the racing modifications made to the cars work.
Gilmour also sees this event, and the ‘new little front wheel drive car’ as yet another step back to full rallying following a big crash in the Whangarei Rally in May.
Competitors will face over 180km in 11 spectacular high speed special stages on the Waitomo Rally, on New Zealand’s north island.
