The Praga Revival: Mark Harrison Discusses the Brand's Racing Resurgence

It's me, Mark Stone, and I'm thrilled to bring you an exclusive look into Praga Cars with Mark Harrison, the Managing Director of Praga Cars UK. We're diving into Praga's rich history, from its inception in 1907 in Czechoslovakia, now the Czech Republic, to its rise as a prominent race car manufacturer.

Mark Harrison enlightens us on Praga's evolution, from manufacturing road and racing cars to branching into military and industrial vehicles and even introducing a food blender, showcasing Praga's versatility and innovative spirit.

A highlight of our conversation is Praga's comeback into the racing scene, particularly with the Praga R1 model. This model epitomises the brand's racing heritage and engineering prowess. Mark also shares exciting news about Praga's plans for a debut sports car racing series next year, marking a new chapter in Praga's commitment to racing excellence.
