Founded in 1907, they have been designing, developing and producing not only race cars, but also road cars, airplanes, trucks, buses, motorcycles and go-karts that have been sold worldwide.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-385916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/praga_r1r_5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1050\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Praga R1R is the ultimate track day car, you can do lap after lap at top speed on the track on Sunday, and still drive it home without a trailer.

Safety equipment was added, but also a suspension specifically tuned for the public roads, all while retaining the racing heart of the original.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-385914\" src=\"https:\/\/www.supercars.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/praga_r1r_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1680\" height=\"1050\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There was no need to make the Praga R1R feel like a race car, because it was a racer from the start, they just added a certain degree of comfort and made a race car cope with everyday road driving. The teardrop design of the cabin was created for optimum aerodynamics, and the entire design of the R1R, complete with that massive rear wing actually generates more down force over 200 km\/h than the overall weight of the car. This means you could theoretically drive this car upside down in a tunnel, but more importantly it offers amazing cornering capabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We see many cars being advertised as a street-legal race car, and most of those are &#8216;dialed-down&#8217; versions of the cars we encounter on the race track, but the Praga R1R is different &#8230; the R1R is an actual race car.
