Grand Prix Suzuki

by Chris Bennett and Philip Scott

Published 15 November 1995
Grand Prix 500cc racing is the Blue Riband event in motorcycle competition, and American rider Kevin Schwantz is world champion. In the 1993/4 season, 1.5 million people attended the fourteen races, and the television audience worldwide was only slightly less than for Grand Prix cars. 1995 will probably be Schwantz's last season, and Osprey has obtained full co-operation from the UK-based champion Suzuki team to produce a comprehensive insight into the Grand Prix year from the inside. Darryll Beattie looks every inch a future champion and has already won the vital Japanese Grand Prix.
