Does Praga still make a street version of this ?
@PragaRacingUSA 11 ай бұрын
Yes and no. By default the Praga R1 is manufactured as a track only car however there is a way to receive the R1 so that motivated owners, who'd like to do this, can make the R1 street legal. The car already comes with headlights, turn signals, a tail light and a windshield wiper (all the things you need for endurance racing). That being said, Praga does make a road legal hypercar, directly from the factory, that is out-of-this-world! Check it out and feel free to contact us at [email protected] with anymore questions! kzbin.info/aero/PLJavG3WwqI_glzfs4Y5e_G3qqObr9hWGY&si=T-zl4wguxoWPE5XD

The pace through the turns was great. Just goes to show you that you dont need a lot of power if you don't have a lot of weight
@PragaRacingUSA 11 ай бұрын
That's right! The R1's power-to-weight ratio, out-of-the-box, is insane at 0.257. But it doesn't stop there because the R1 can be tuned to 550hp with its Garrett turbocharger. At 1,418 lbs that puts its power-to-weight ratio at 0.388. Any way you slice it, it packs a serious punch and is more quick and nimble than any production car or GT race car through the corners.

Does this fit into any racing series rules? Or is it just a track toy?
@PragaRacingUSA 11 ай бұрын
It is both a trackday weapon and a serious race car for sprint and endurance racing. Current R1 owners can race the R1 in several different series in the US, such as PSSA/SVRA, FARA, NASA, SCCA and local club races with unlimited or downforce classes. We had many owners race their R1s this year and look forward to more fast and fun racing in 2024.

@F8Tributo 11 ай бұрын
Having the same downforce as its weight is NOT sufficient to drive upside down. That would result in neutral traction for steering, braking, and acceleration. The tires would barely be kissing the ceiling! And God forbid a bump occurs, to upset the ground effect while upside down. Needs MORE downforce than it's weight. One unit of downforce that equals the car's weight, and something on the order of ANOTHER unit of down force to restore the traction characteristics while upside down, that it has when sitting right side up on the ground. Edit- I see a few other people have had the same comment

@PragaRacingUSA having Randy drive your car is a great endorsement, but if you want to advertise your car to motorsports drivers and enthusiasts using the review from a pro driver... 1. Ditch the music. we want to hear car noises. 2. show a full lap from one camera angle or have a Picture in Picture with the other views. 3. show the driver view and cockpit. 4. Have the pro driver talk more about what makes this car different than other cars in its class - he only casually mentioned the LMP car in comparison. 5. more car noises.

That is so very true! With the high downforce capability of the R1 the faster you push it through the corners the better it sticks and the greater confidence you feel. The car is more than capable. The driver is the one who must mentally decide to commit.

@PragaRacingUSA Жыл бұрын
We hear you! Who doesn't love the sound of high-revving NA engines?!!! The R1 used to be NA but you save a lot of weight and gain a lot of power with a turbo'ed engine setup. Being a purpose built race car, weight savings is critical to setting quickest lap times and wining races.
