An Evening With Praga

An Evening with Praga took place at the Praga HQ, Antrobus, Cheshire, on November 18th 2021. Sponsored by Axiom, C&C Bank, Escapade Silverstone and Supercar Driver, ‘An Evening with Praga’ saw a unique panel of special guests give emotional and fascinating discussions on stage. Praga ambassador, former F1 driver and new Andretti Autosport IndyCar driver, Romain Grosjean, world-renowned car designed Frank Stephenson, and Praga Guest Drivers Jay Morton and Jimmy Broadbent, were interviewed by ex-racing driver, model and presenter Jodie Kidd, in front of an exclusive audience of just 120 guests. Romain Grosjean, who has a long-standing relationship with the Praga brand, spoke openly and positively about the most serious crash of his F1 career in Bahrain, as well as his ongoing recovery, almost exactly a year to the day from the incident. He also discussed his rookie year in the NTT IndyCar Series, and his own sim racing team, R8G, which is bridging the gap between the real and virtual racing. Guests then witnessed a fascinating discussion with world-renowned car designer Frank Stephenson, in which he spoke about his design inspirations and techniques, including the process of designing a bespoke livery for a Praga R1, which was raced this year in the 2021 Goodyear Britcar Endurance Championship by Miles Lacey and automotive influencer, Mr JWW. Jodie also interviewed Jay Morton and Jimmy Broadbent, both of whom joined the Praga racing team on the Guest Driver Programme with no racing experience, and both went on to win two races in an incredible journey of mental and physical endurance. For many in the audience, looking to race a Praga in 2022, Broadbent and Morton’s race-winning season in their R1s provided immense motivation given their novice status – neither having raced before 2021.
