Praga R4S Racing Car
The Praga R4S is the second generation of racing cars designed and developed by the Race4Slovakia Group. After the successful partnership between Praga and Intrepid in karting, Petr Ptacek decided to further his involvement in the racing arena by joining with Race4Slovakia and their racing team. So far this season, the Praga R4S has taken 3rd place at the Britcar in Donnington, and 1st place at the Dutch Supercar Challenge Series in Assen.

NEW GENERATION OVERVIEW
Praga R4S GT Racing Car
The New Generation Program is a highly sophisticated educational program for extremely talented young race drivers. Successful participants will become FIA licence holders and the fastest and most talented will get the offer to become part of the PRAGA Racing Team driver program.
Only a few carefully selected racers with the best potential aged 16 – 24 will get a chance to accelerate their motorsport career and fine tune their winning instincts, as 16 year old kart racer Beitske Visser did in 2011. Beitske, a young girl Kart racer, became one of the first participants of our New Generation Program. She had her first ‘car’ race in the Dutch Supercar Challenge at Assen in a Praga Race car and won!
In three days, the New Generation Program will reveal your weaknesses and confirm your strengths. It is our task to reduce your weaknesses, and enhance your strengths.
Day 1
A series of physical and mental preparation tests on the kart track, will comprehensively check each driver’s style.
Day 2
Slippery conditions on the wet polygon track will help to demonstrate where the physical limits of the race cars are. Then, on the Slovakia Ring racetrack, our professional instructors will push each driver to his or her limits.Only the best prepared drivers will get the chance to proceed to the next day and start their training with specialist race cars with significant aerodynamic down-force.
Day 3
The day will start in a 3D simulator with 2G – force modulation. Afterwards students move up to our ultra light cars with aerodynamics characteristics. This will push the students’ abilities and comprehension of what is required at this level light years ahead. The finale of our three day program is testing of our top range race car – the PRAGA R4S. You will be sitting in the car that has re-defined GT racing, leaving its competitors far behind on the racetracks in 2011!
