Suzuki Acceleration Series: Fast-paced Action Returns

The Suzuki Acceleration Series is back. Following a successful debut at venues around the country during 2008, Suzuki Auto South Africa has decided to run a second, extended season of the Acceleration Series, with significant prizes at stake.
 
The Suzuki Acceleration Series features the complete Suzuki passenger car range, and offers members of the public an opportunity to participate in two challenging activities.
 
The first of these is a timed precision driving challenge in a Suzuki Swift and a Suzuki Alto around a predetermined gymkhana track, while the second consists of a loading task, during which participants have to fit as many blocks as possible into the cargo compartment of a Suzuki SX4.
 
The full range of Suzuki passenger cars will also be on hand for testing, allowing the public convenient one-stop access to Suzuki’s Alto, Swift and SX4 passenger car models.
 
As before, the Acceleration Series will be run in all major centres around the country, but this year will consist of a total of 20 events. Professional drivers are specifically excluded, as the event is aimed at normal motorists with no special driving or motorsport experience.
 
Scores for both tasks will be averaged to determine a winner at each of the 20 Acceleration Series events. These winners will participate in a final, to be held at the end of the year, with a new Suzuki Swift Sport up for grabs as the grand prize.
 
“The Suzuki Acceleration Series was a key activity in publicising the Suzuki vehicle brand’s arrival in South Africa,” said Kazuyuki Yamashita, managing director of Suzuki Auto SA.
 
“This new, extended second series will continue to provide opportunities for members of the public to experience our unique cars first hand, while also participating in an exciting activity with the lure of a fantastic prize for those who excel.”
