Frank Stephenson Design and Praga Cars unveil bespoke R1 racing livery

Frank Stephenson Design is pleased to unveil the first project in the Creative Partnership with Praga Cars. Frank Stephenson has designed a bespoke racing livery for the R1 competing in the 2021 Britcar Endurance Championship. For this unique livery, inspiration has come from working closely with the Praga engineering team to delve deep under the skin and over the body of the R1. Frank Stephenson saw Praga’s rich history as the perfect canvas for a race car livery. Combining the brand’s heritage with the R1’s aerodynamics, Frank’s goal was to create a unique modern livery that demonstrates Praga’s flowing development throughout its past, present, and future. Incorporated into the design of the livery are flowing white lines that sweep rearwards to mimic the air’s path over the R1’s surface. The livery also features a few distinct aspects that mark it as uniquely Praga, such as the gold lion on the nose cone, the Genius of Victory graphic of Praga’s historic bonnet ornament on the central fin, and their brand motto, #winninginstinct, located on the rear wing’s lower surface. The colour scheme of the livery has also been carefully thought out to pay homage to Praga’s historical home, the Czech Republic. Combining blue, white, and red with the gold and carbon areas reflects the Czech Republic’s national colours and the high-class materials used in the production of the R1. Also incorporated into the bespoke livery are subtle hints that signify who the car’s Britcar pilots will be, reflecting their respective brands. The driving pair will be confirmed in April before the opening race of the 2021 Britcar Endurance Championship at Silverstone on April 24th.
