THE VISION IS SIMPLE.
Aspire to be the world’s lightest, full ground-effects, FIA safety-approved race car available. The X1 is a high-performance, wash-n-race vehicle with a no-nonsense approach to maintenance - a one-man race team. It is fast, corners like a housefly, and features built-in safety never before seen at the affordable end of racing.
There is no better option available for today’s hobbyist driver.

FOUR GENERATIONS

JON AND DEAN CROOKE
Jon and Dean Crooke are the 3rd and 4th generation of Australia’s first-family of auto racing...dating back to 1906.
Together they have more than a century in motorsports including National Championships in F2 and Karting, plus design, engineering and fabrication of all manner of race cars….leading to their development of the Hyper Racer X1.
After years of design, engineering, development, and testing the X1 factory has kicked out over 50 HyperRacers and counting, fueling a spec series in Australia...with another one coming in the United States.
