TeamVodafone V8 Supercar star Craig Lowndes has joined Suzuki as an official ambassador, set to join Team Suzuki as a guest at Queensland Raceway’s third round of the Viking Group Australian Superbike Championship.

One of Australia’s highest profile and most popular motorsport personalities, Lowndes is also a passionate motorcyclist and will work alongside Suzuki to promote its brand and products.

“Motorcycles have always been an important part of my life – I use a motorcrosser for fitness training every day on my farm and I love attending ride days to unwind, so I am super excited to be onboard with Suzuki,” Lowndes said.

“The new Suzuki GSX-R1000 is an awesome bike, just amazing. I can’t believe how good it is, and the new RM-Z450 is a fantastic race-winning package.”

The four-time Bathurst winner and three-time Australian champion will carry the Suzuki brand proudly on his V8 Supercar helmet and race suit, and will also be a special guest at the Suzuki facility at this year’s MotoGP, an event he attends regularly.

“By winning multiple championships, Craig has a demonstrated passion for performance on the race track that is perfectly matched to the Suzuki Motorcycle brand,” said Perry Morison, general manager motorcycles, Suzuki Australia. “He is an ideal person to represent the Suzuki brand.”

Lowndes will attend the Australian Superbike Championship round at Queensland Raceway this weekend to meet Team Suzuki.
