Suzuki: A perfect start

The start of the 2024 Suzuki Swiss Racing Cup season could not have turned out better. In perfect weather, numerous spectators followed the thrilling racing action at the Frauenfeld Auto-Renntage - and thus also the first double round of this year's Suzuki Slalom one-make cup, which is being held with the Swift Sport Hybrid. The start to the new season could not have gone better for last year's Cup winner Sandro Fehr. He took victory in both races and leaves Frauenfeld with full points. Second and third place were also equally distributed in both races. They went to Patrick Flammer and Rico Thomann.

Strong newcomer

The start of the new season was also the premiere for Gregory Kresta. He had to familiarize himself with motorsport, his Suzuki Swift Sport Hybrid and the racing format. Although he finished 14th and therefore last in both races, he can still be satisfied with his performance. Without any previous racing experience, the newcomer immediately found his way into a field of experienced drivers. He improved by around three seconds from the first to the second race, showing that he has a lot of potential. It will be interesting to see how he develops as the season progresses.

Continuation in Bière

The riders now have to process the knowledge gained in Frauenfeld and draw the right conclusions. After all, the Suzuki Swiss Racing Cup 2024 is already going from strength to strength at the start of the season. The championship will continue next weekend on May 4/5 as part of the traditional Bière slalom. The extensive slalom course on the army's military range demands full concentration and maximum precision from the drivers. Once again, two races will be held there. For Sandro Fehr, the aim is to extend the lead he gained in Frauenfeld. No easy task in the highly competitive field of the Suzuki Swiss Racing Cup, in which all participants drive identical cars.
