If you are excited about the thought of owning a Hyper PRO Racer, why not drive one at a ‘Test Drive’ day.

You will receive a thorough briefing by a Level 1 driver who will demonstrate the features of the Hyper PRO Racer
and show you the correct braking and gear shift points and racing lines. You will then drive the car.
The aim of the day is to get a ‘feel’ of the car and understand what makes a Hyper PRO Racer so special.

Hyper Racer is conducting ‘Test Drive’ days at Winton, Australia.

WARNING. Test days can be expensive. See below.

WARNING. Test days can be expensive.

The pictures on the right are the result of test day drivers who's ambition exceeded their ability. These drivers were mature men whose last words before driving onto the track were "Don't worry guy's, I'll be very careful".

These drivers were people just like you. Smart, intelligent and careful.

The consequence of these accidents was that, for the offending drivers, their test drive suddenly became a very expensive exercise. Apart from their share of the cost of the day, they were also responsible for the cost of repairs AND the cost of reimbursing the other test driver(s) costs for the day.

The total cost of a test day is $2000. Normally 2 drivers share the car and the cost of the day. In both cases pictured, the cars were crashed in the first session of the day. That meant that the overly ambitious driver paid for his and his colleagues entries and the damage bill, all of which was deducted from the standard $5000 security deposit which is paid in advance of the day.

So if you are thinking of booking a test drive, be aware of the following;

1. The Hyper PRO Racer is a very very fast racing car.

2. The Hyper PRO Racer has a very high power to weight ratio.

3. At the speeds the Hyper PRO Racer operates at, things can get out of hand very quickly.

4. You will begin your test day with exactly the same responsible attitude as the drivers of the cars pictured on the right.

5. If you crash you will be extremely embarrassed and sorry for ruining the day of the other driver(s).

6. If you crash you will be responsible for the costs of the entire day including damage and co-drivers costs.

7. In the case of an accident like these you will almost certainly kiss your $5000 security deposit goodbye and may be up for further costs.

NOTE: Due to the state of the art safety features designed into the Hyper PRO Racer, the drivers involved in the crashes (pictured), stepped - or crawled - from the vehicles un-injured.

The Good News.

The good news for owners of a Hyper PRO Racer, is that the cost of accidents like these won't break the bank. Due to intelligent design, suspension components are designed to tear off the car without damaging the core chassis and bodywork is made up of multiple small panels so that damage is localised and cheap to repair.

To repair the white car the costs were;
For the do it yourself racer - Parts $500.
For the hands-off racer - Parts and labour $1000.

To repair the orange car the costs were;
For the do it yourself racer - Parts $1000.
For the hands-off racer - Parts and labour $1500.
