PUSHING The Praga R1 at Atlanta AMP

- A mad ride in the Praga R1 at one of the most challenging twisters in the world - Atlanta Motorsports Park. If you get a chance to go there, take it.
Praga have a new foothold in America thanks to www.pragaracingusa.com and thanks to a kind gent called Jack Rambo (real name) I got the keys to his ride and pushed it hard enough to set a track (class) record. These cars are a riot to drive, especially when you can't see where you're going over the blind crests that track designer Hermann Tilke is famous for building into his circuits.
Hats off to Hermann but here's the funny thing - his best tracks aren't his Formula One circuits.. it's places like AMP and Bilsterberg. If you want to know whether you can drive or not, whether you can trust your precision and timing 100% then kneel beneath the Altar of Hermann and run one of his courses.
I'm a biased fan of Praga, they make belligerent cars that love being taken by the scruff of the neck and hurled through challenging curves. AMP has one of the longest, fastest corners I've ever driven that runs from top elevation all the way through to the pit straight. Only when everything is perfect can you take it flat out and produce the same 'holy s*** I can't believe I'm doing this' facial expression that I did
Giving it up to the geezers who kindly filmed us in action and do check out our other films in this mini series here:

The content you put out is Amazing , Credit to you and your Team .
Glad you made it out to my "home track." It really has been a hidden gem in north Georgia for years. The full kart track is a load of fun as well.
it really is superb - daunting place to bang in a fast time and we don't show the video where I ripped off one of the circuit marker boards when I ran wide ...
Same track as the one from Gears and Gasoline's video this week, their video was featuring the Radical SR1 with Primal Racing.
yep - we smoked em ;0 haha
I would really like to own a Praga R1! It's really a good track car. Thanks for the video Mr Collins!
Love it - some unicorns on screen tomorrow ...
Imagine being able to go in a car with this absolute legend my favourite driver ever there is no debate for me
This track is about 20 miles from me. Epic video. Been here a couple of times. Was amazing to see a real pro aka the Stig attack it!
How you drive so well, your concentration and skill.. with all of us riding in the cockpit with you.
it must be cramped!
because i hope you know, we ARE all in the car with you Mr Collins
Ben you are a national treasure brother 👍🙂👍🇬🇧🏴🇬🇧🏴
Love your videos, wish you could have started this earlier.. But i think is the the time for you now.. We love you here in mombasa, kenya. Thank you for your lovely videos
Shout out to Kenya from the USA!
car culture is best culture..
no skin colors
no politics
no genders
no religions
no country
just love of cars and speed and power!
Cheers!
@@ripvanwinkle2002 cheers man!
wish I started earlier too - but am here now and great to be seen in Kenya too, planning to visit one day
@@BenCollinsDrives i look forward to your visit to Kenya, Ben (the video of it anyway) and we are all glad you are here now!
Ben Collins is Tiff Needel in GOD mode. I could watch this content all day.
I love driving that track!!
Ben you make the best content. You are an incredibly racing driver.
Very racing indeed.
too kind but working on it thank you!
Another banger Ben, keep them rolling man!
Once again. Ben delivers an amazing video with great comment 😊
Yet again a fantastic video, can't wait for the next one!
That car is beautiful, it definitely passes the bedroom wall poster test.
Which are your top 5 tracks in the world?
That looks like another terrible day at the office, you poor man. FUN< FUN
I’m pretty sure he broke the track record that day.
yes - although it was kind of a fastest in class sort of record but we did pinch it by about a tenth of a second
That is my dream car... Small, light, powerful & a single seater.
Ben, i'm so glad of your success. couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
amazing! This channel will hit 1mil subs in no time and it deserves it.
nearly @ 70k get in there!!
Can't believe the Stig visited my home track!
I love AMP. The closest thing I have to a Praga is my Ford Fusion (aka Mondeo, almost) and even it is fun around this track. Had it out for a couple of track days at AMP. Most likely a lot less grip than you experienced here, I struggled to get past a... 1:45? 1:50 or so.
I’ll get you next time Broadbent. Hehe.
I would love to see Ben on a superbike to see what he can do on two wheels. Even when he was the Stig, I wanted to see him on 2 wheels.
Would love to see you do some laps in a Brabham Bt62 . That car was built for you
Reminds me a bit of the Caparo T1.
Caparo
@@dolan-duk thanks. Autocorrect is annoying sometimes.
The whole of next month is our Praga R1 Race Room Cup - We are all "joying" that open diff!!!
its unique!
Big caparo t1 vibes
👍
Good way to learn the track is on a computer game. I’ve got a full setup which is amazing.
amazing🔥🔥
What's the price and how does it compare with other cars in the same category?
Love watching you drive! Are you going to drive Freddy's P1 when it's ready?
if he'll let me for sure!!
Hold up, you set a lap record here a few months ago. Was this shot before that?
👍💪✌
Is this the spiritual successor to the Caparo T1?
no they are very different - the Caparo had potential but it wasn't a serious racing car like the R1
but it was BLOODY fast I'll give it that!
i s praga is good
