New Bohema owners move from Praga’s Goodwood stand to TV’s most famous track – the Top Gear TV Dunsfold circuit
Following the excitment of the Goodwood Festival of Speed, Ben Collins – the ex-BBC Top Gear Stig – welcomed all the Bohema owners to his „playground“, the famous Dunsfold test track. The famous test track hosted a private test day so that the new Bohema owners could get to grips with the car’s performance potential. Collins showed the owners the best lines and took them on a hot lap, retracing the tyre tracks of a few weeks ago when he set a new road car lap record for an ICE car.
As Marcie Butters, owner of the world’s first exposed carbon (with gold details) Praga Bohema said: „The greatest time of my life on the track with Mr @bencollinsstig.“

As well as Ben’s DriveTribe YouTube film, the Bohema has also recently starred on the Top Gear and Hagerty YouTube channels where the car’s performance on road and track, its engineering and design details and its unique position as a true race car for the road where roundly praised.
BBC Top Gear’s Tom Ford spent four days with the Bohema on road and track, through Prague and in paddocks, and said: „This is a car that has just done a trip across an entire country and visited three different race tracks and set the lap record on each one on the same set of tyres. That’s incredible…it’s an ode to light weight, carefully crafted engineering…I used to think that a track-focused hypercar that actually works was a complete myth. Turns out I was wrong. The Bohema isn’t a myth: it’s more of a legend.“
In experiencing the Bohema on Czech roads and looking back at Praga’s storied history with the 1932 Praga Super Piccolo, Hagerty’s Henry Catchpole said: „It has the details you won’t find anywhere else…it certainly has performance…and with a maximum of 89 cars being produced it will always have rarity.“
