TEENS WANT MORE PRAGA
Karting graduate
Lewis Appiagyei is looking for more Praga Cup appearances including a full 2023 season after making his race debut in the category at Donington Park last month.
Appiagyei shared an Idola Motorsport Praga R1 with friend and karting rival, and fellow debutant, Ruben Stanislaus.
The pair finished both Donington races, in sixth and fifth places, and Appiagyei has expressed an aim to do 2022’s remaining Praga Cup round, also at Donington, and then a 2023 campaign.
Appiagyei told Motorsport News: “Hopefully if we can secure the funding we’ll try and do the last round in October. And then from there we’d like to do a full season in the Pragas, that would be really good, a proper series because we’re just doing off rounds at the moment.
“The skillset needed to drive a Praga you could transfer into anything. You could go into formulas, you could go to GTs or LMP1. Ruben wants to go down the GT route but I want to do formulas. Hopefully after next year, if we can do a full season of Praga, we’ll see if I can go into Formula 3.”
Appiagyei and Stanislaus, both 18, are also this season being filmed for a fly-on-thewall BBC documentary tracking their racing.
