4130 Chrome-moly. Hyper Racer has a wealth of experience in the use of Chrome-moly, having built over 600 race chassis using 4130 tube. Chrome-moly was introduced mid-way through the last century and has been the material of choice for leading race car and aircraft manufactures of the modern era. Modern F/Fords are built of chrome-moly. Prior to the 'composite materials' era, tube fabricated chassis and suspension components on F1 and Indy cars were built using Chrome-moly. Modern space frame aircraft, including aerobatic aircraft such as the Pitts Special and the stunning Red Bull Air Race Zivko Edge 540, are built with Chrome-moly. Despite the proven performance superiority and durability of Chrome-moly, some amateur race car builders still use mild steel to build their race car chassis. This is either because they lack the relevant technical knowledge, or worse, are on a money saving exercise at the expense of the drivers safety.

Yes - you can modify your Hyper. However our Hyper Racer components have not been designed to work with any non Hyper Racer product/components. Hyper Racer accepts no responsibility of any kind, for the integrity and or safety of any Hyper Racer or the Hyper Racer components fitted, if the car has been fitted with non Hyper Racer parts. It is your responsibility to ensure that all the components used in your racing car - including any Hyper Racer components modified or not - are capable of providing the operator with a structurally sound and safe racing car.

The X1 cockpit will accommodate drivers from 160cm (5’2” ) to 190cm (6’2”) and up to 110 kgs (240lbs). The cockpit controls are fully adjustable. The pedals are mounted on a sliding pedal tray and the steering is adjustable both vertically and longitudinally.

We do offer test drives. When you purchase a Hyper X1 Racer, you will pay a holding deposit. You can then test drive the car. If, after your drive you have second thoughts, you may cancel your order. If the car is returned from the test in the condition it was in when you started the test, your deposit will be refunded less the cost of the test. If the car is damaged in anyway, your deposit will be used to repair the car and further money will be recovered from you in the case of the deposit not covering the costs of the damage.
