Suzuki GSX-R Cup Press Office
October 10th 2003
Suzuki racing legend Kevin Schwantz is attending the GSX-R Cup Final at Magny Cours in France on October 19th to give all the finalists the benefit of his advice and to present the trophies to the winners.
The 1993 500cc World Champion made his name racing the very first GSX-R machines in the mid-80’s and still uses a mixture of GSX-R and SV model Suzukis for his famous Kevin Schwantz race schools.
A total of 28 Suzuki GSX-R riders from 15 countries around the world have been competing in qualifying races in their home countries for a place on the start line of this unique Cup Final event where they will all start with an equal chance of winning on identically prepared GSX-R750 machines.
The two GSX-R Cup final races are part of the program in the final round of the World Superbike Series at Magny Cours.
