Being lighter gives you an advantage. It allows you to brake later, take corners faster and accelerate more easily. Lighter means gentler on expensive tires but it also means your car generates less kinetic energy, which helps with more accurate steering.
You can choose a DIN-corrected engine – an uprated version of the Renault engine in the R1.
Proper set-up is the key to great racing results. The Praga -R1 is so easy to set up mechanically that you can make it through the weekend with a single mechanic. Easily accessible AIM telemetry, and you can also use the hard data to find the best set-up.
While your competitors reach deep into their pockets to keep their engines running, the heart of your R1 has been developed to last throughout your season. Plus, the R1’s service costs have been reduced by using high-quality parts from proven suppliers, and the engine rebuild time is just 50 hours.
Thanks to its sophisticated aerodynamics, the teardrop-shaped Praga R1 can generate a downforce of up to 1.5 times its weight. Enhanced traction and incredible cornering ability set the R1 apart from its competitors, generating up to 3G of lateral force on corners.

The Praga R1 far exceeds the safety standards in any comparable category.
The driver seating position in the car is situated below the tangential line connecting the front and the rear roll hoop protective structures of the carbon fibre composite monocoque.
A six-point harness ensures the driver is held securely in place, and the Hans compatible design head rest is positioned and padded to support the driver’s head, offering the best possible protection to head and cervical spine.
A Lexan® polypropylene shatterproof windscreen and side windows offer a lightweight protective safety screen against the elements as well as any debris from the track. The windscreen’s steep angle further improves its ability to deflect even larger objects offering the driver additional protection.
Since the 1970s, a Carbon Fibre Composite (CFC) monocoque has become the industry standard core safety feature throughout the highest level of motorsport.
Whether you race in LMP1 or F1 the CFC safety cell is the driver’s optimal safety blanket. The Praga R1 introduced the full carbon monocoque at an affordable club racing price point offering this proven lightweight safety structure to both professional and amateur racers.
Fire is the number one enemy to any racing driver. To minimise the danger the Praga R1 works to all the latest FIA-standards that not only support safety in road and racing cars, but are actually set for military-grade applications. The Praga fuel tank is manufactured to the FIA FT3-1999 standards, made of flexible and highly durable material that minimises the risk of damage through compression.
It is also fully internally baffled with safety foam reducing the speed of spill in the rare chance that the tank is punctured. The tank incorporates a roll-over vent valve that allows the fuel bladder to breath as it expands during high temperature races, and prevents fuel spill in the event of a roll-over.
The Praga R1 crash safety structure has a carbon fibre composite monocoque at its core. To protect the driver inside this safety cell from the destructive effects of rapid deceleration in the event of a high-speed crash, the monocoque is further equipped with energy dissipating structures to cushion the impact.
These are front and rear-mounted crashbox structures, side-mounted crumple zones combined with water radiators and Kevlar® strengthened flooring all-round.
Racing was never so accessible. Our goal is to connect professional racing teams all around the world with customers who would like to race in the Praga R1. Rent a place at selected races and have everything taken care of by your racing team for the weekend.
Since 1907 we have designed, developed and produced racing cars, road cars,
airplanes, trucks, buses, motorcycles and go-karts for the world.
