BECOME A PROFESSIONAL PAID DRIVER

In today’s racing environment, one of the hardest tasks is to become a professional paid driver. Every racer dreams of Formula 1 but the chances of success are very low. Endurance racing provides an alternate path to an “open wheel” career. It is more affordable, gives the driver much more track time and thanks to the pro/am format of the races, it is much easier to make racing your full time job. PRAGA R1 IS THE FIRST AFFORDABLE RACE CAR OF THE 21ST CENTURY

Same as LMP cars, the R1 was built around a carbon fibre monocoque while its price is comparable to tubular frame cars. R1 was designed for endurance racing where safety, reliability and easy maintenance are the key factors. Praga has paired with C2i carbon specialist and produced a monocoque which easily passed FIA CN regulations. The car is incredibly easy to drive and gives you the confidence to push harder in an effort to find the true limits of an aerodynamically efficient car.

Less replacement Lightweight and aerodynamically efficient design allows for a means less cost and if you do need to replace a part you will find more stock engine to be used. Don’t get us wrong, the engine comes from than competitive prices. We believe that quality matters. Formula Renault, but the difference compared to its stock origin is only Crashes and scratches? Carbon fibre doesn’t mean just lightweight, it the dry sump for a lower centre of gravity. That means 3-10 times also means durable. And R1 is completely carbon fibre. longer intervals between engine rebuilds than the racing standard. Maintenance requires race mechanics, which can often stretch the budget. The R1 is designed to be maintainable by a single mechanic, Reliability? Out of the first 50 starts, keeping those costs minimal. we have 100% finish rate. You get the picture. 0,90
