Aprendeu a conduzir aos quatro anos e correu primeiro em trial e motocross. Depois das les\u00f5es no Supercross de Houston de 1983 deixou o motocross e passou para a velocidade: ganhou a sua primeira corrida em estrada com uma moto de flat track emprestada pelo tio, Darryl Hurst.<\/p>\n<p>Em 1985 ganhou as duas mangas da prova de Superbike em Willow Springs. Em 1986 foi segundo nas 200 Milhas de Daytona, batido por Eddie Lawson. Em 1987 o duelo com <strong>Wayne Rainey<\/strong> no campeonato americano de Superbike foi ganho por Rainey, mas Schwantz fechou a \u00e9poca ganhando cinco das \u00faltimas seis corridas.<\/p>\n<h2>A classe 500 com a Suzuki (1986-1992)<\/h2>\n<p>Schwantz estreou-se no Mundial em 1986 em Assen, com uma wild card. A partir de 1988 correu a tempo inteiro pela Suzuki e ganhou logo: o Grande Pr\u00e9mio inaugural, em Suzuka, no Jap\u00e3o. Nesse ano ganhou duas corridas e foi oitavo. Em 1989 ganhou seis, entre elas o Grande Pr\u00e9mio da Gr\u00e3-Bretanha em Donington Park, com a Suzuki Pepsi, e terminou em quarto. Em 1990 foi segundo no campeonato.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/rtrsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/kevin_schwantz_1989_donington_park.jpg\" alt=\"Kevin Schwantz festeja na Suzuki Pepsi a vit\u00f3ria no Grande Pr\u00e9mio da Gr\u00e3-Bretanha de 1989\" width=\"458\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>O duelo com Rainey<\/h2>\n<p>A rivalidade com Rainey \u00e9 o fio condutor desses anos. Em Hockenheim, a 26 de maio de 1991, Schwantz ultrapassou-o na \u00faltima volta para ganhar, e Rainey terminou em segundo. Dois anos depois, a mesma rivalidade viveu o seu momento mais duro. A 5 de setembro de 1993, no Grande Pr\u00e9mio de It\u00e1lia em Misano, Rainey caiu quando liderava e ficou paralisado do peito para baixo, com uma les\u00e3o da medula. A sua carreira terminou nesse dia.<\/p>\n<h2>O t\u00edtulo de 1993<\/h2>\n<p>1993 tinha come\u00e7ado bem para Schwantz: quatro vit\u00f3rias na primeira metade da \u00e9poca, num calend\u00e1rio de 14 Grandes Pr\u00e9mios. No final Rainey tinha recuperado a lideran\u00e7a do campeonato, enquanto Schwantz estava travado por uma les\u00e3o no pulso. Depois do acidente de Rainey, Schwantz ganhou o t\u00edtulo aos 29 anos, com 248 pontos.<\/p>\n<h2>O n\u00famero 34<\/h2>\n<p>O 34 era o n\u00famero do tio Darryl Hurst, cujas motos de flat track Schwantz conduzia em jovem. Existe tamb\u00e9m uma segunda vers\u00e3o, que o liga \u00e0s placas que sobraram em casa da Yoshimura. Seja qual for a verdade, quando Schwantz deixou as corridas a FIM retirou o n\u00famero: foi o primeiro n\u00famero retirado pela federa\u00e7\u00e3o.<\/p>\n<h2>A retirada em 1995<\/h2>\n<p>Em 1994 Schwantz foi quarto, com duas vit\u00f3rias, entre les\u00f5es e problemas no pulso. Em 1995 correu tr\u00eas vezes e depois retirou-se, no in\u00edcio da \u00e9poca, depois de uma conversa com Rainey: percebeu que j\u00e1 n\u00e3o se divertia como antes. Com os anos, a rivalidade com Rainey transformou-se em amizade.<\/p>\n<h2>Depois das corridas<\/h2>\n<p>Depois de se retirar, Schwantz fundou uma escola de condu\u00e7\u00e3o com o seu nome, a Kevin Schwantz Suzuki School, e trabalhou no projeto do Circuit of the Americas, em Austin, no Texas, em colabora\u00e7\u00e3o com o projetista Hermann Tilke e com Tavo Hellmund. O circuito acolhe o Grande Pr\u00e9mio das Am\u00e9ricas desde 2013, e Schwantz foi apresentado como embaixador motociclista do COTA em 2014. A 10 de maio de 2025 foi convidado de honra no Suzuki Motor Fest, no circuito de Misano.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/rtrsports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/kevin_schwantz_in_2010_cropped-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"Kevin Schwantz em 2010, com o fato da sua escola de condu\u00e7\u00e3o\" width=\"316\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Schwantz em n\u00fameros<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>25 vit\u00f3rias em Grandes Pr\u00e9mios, em dez \u00e9pocas no Mundial (1986-1995).<\/li>\n<li>T\u00edtulo mundial de 500cc: 1993, com 248 pontos e quatro vit\u00f3rias.<\/li>\n<li>Vit\u00f3rias entre 1988 e 1989: oito (duas mais seis).<\/li>\n<li>N\u00famero 34: retirado pela FIM.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Para comparar com outro grande nome da classe rainha, leia a classifica\u00e7\u00e3o dos <a href=\"https:\/\/rtrsports.com\/pt-pt\/blog\/os-10-melhores-motogp-drivers-de-sempre\/\">10 melhores pilotos de MotoGP de sempre<\/a> e o perfil de <a href=\"https:\/\/rtrsports.com\/pt-pt\/blogue\/motogp-best-riders-casey-stoner\/\">Casey Stoner<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Recordar Schwantz apenas por aquele t\u00edtulo de 1993 \u00e9 perder o essencial.
