	Junior and Senior Swifts Swift Sport Rallycross Championship MSA Junior Rallycross Championship Perfect starting block for Rallycross, the very popular Suzuki Swift one-make saloon class runs alongside the MSA British rallycross championship. Based on the three-door Suzuki Swift, cars in the new series use a 160bhp, 1600cc/16v engine that has tightly controlled regulations so that the cars are equal and it is driver ability that shows through. Junior racers are able to compete between the ages of 14-17. The main benefit of the junior swift car is the ability to make the transition to seniors once the maximum age of the junior driver has been reached by making a straight forward engine change from the 1300 to 1600 engine.
