Praga R1 cockpit tour: Ben Collins' "home from home"
Praga driver, Ben Collins, takes you on a tour of the Praga R1 Gen 5, aka Everest, which he competes with Jay Morton in the Praga Cup 2022.
There's a reason that the fastest racing cars in the world employ a carbon fibre chassis: safety. The Praga R1 features a carbon monocoque with Zylon bodywork panels manufactured to prevent penetration, and a second generation monocoque improved with additional layers of carbon fibre. The R1 driver can feel confident and secure in an environment designed to keep them safe.
The R1 driver sits between the front and rear crash structures and side-mounted crumple zones for increased safety performance. Plus both the pedal box and collapsible steering column are designed to reduce risks inside the R1. Removable interior door hinges are also fitted as standard.
A high-specification foam-filled FIA approved fuel cell comes as standard, plus a mechanically-operated fire extinguisher system for both the engine bay and the cabin.
