Build the world's lightest, full ground-effects race car.
The X1 is a high-performance, wash-n-race vehicle with a simple 'one-man race team' approach to maintenance.
It is fast, corners like a housefly, and features built-in safety never before seen at the affordable end of racing. At half the price of our competitors, there is no better option available for professional or amateur drivers on a budget.
"The X1 is the purest, lightest, most driver focused racing car you will ever drive." Dean Crooke - CEO
Full ground effects, 500 bhp per ton, and safety engineered in from the first sketch. Racing, track days, hill climbs, club events — or just the best hour of your month. Built to be owned and run by one person: wash it, check it, drive it. No team. No trailer full of spares. No compromise.
Australian Designer/Engineers Jon and Dean Crooke designed and built the X1, the world's lightest full ground effects race car.
The all composite or carbon fibre skin forms a radical body, utterly honed for performance. The design harnesses the atmosphere around, over and through the X1, resulting in a striking aerodynamic exterior with mind warping downforce.
Chassis hugging upper surfaces, taper around the driver-focused cockpit and engine, and end at a point in front of the rear wing. Air travels through front wing ducts, is rammed into a pair of three meter mega ground-effect tunnels and explodes out the back into two diffusers from hell. The ground effect tunnels are designed to progressively move the centre of pressure rearward as the speed increases. This controls front end grip at slow speeds while providing the driver with mega rear end grip and stability at high speed.
Hundreds of design hours were spent packaging the major components - driver, engine, wheels - into the smallest possible chassis package. If a component or part was not essential, it was removed. Component packaging was kept low and central to minimise roll, pitch, polar and rotational moments of inertia. Every component was selected or manufactured to add 'lightness'.
