This price is for a ready-to-race G1, including a brand-new Aprilia RSV4 engine, tires, data acquisition and analysis system, steering wheel with display and extra 4 rims set.

Griiip was founded around VALUE FOR MONEY. We understand racing has grown too expensive for most drivers, and we thought that technology should not only make cars go faster, but also cheaper. This vision went into the car during the 4-year development phase, and also goes into the G1 Series.

We offer an introductory discount for the first 20 cars (7 sold).

About the G1 series
+++++

Our goal isn't only to provide the best performing, sexiest entry-level Formula car. Our main goal is to make entry-level racing super exciting and also much more affordable. We hope to see more drivers, more races and a larger audience everywhere.

* Using our data systems pilots can learn and improve by themselves, and make the most out of their track time.
* The G1 virtual reality simulator allows to learn the track prior to racing, and also test and tune the car.
* Everybody drives the same car model - it's all about the pilot's talent.
* Our onboard cameras will stream live videos along with car data to the circuit audience and to the audience at home.
* Coming soon: Our augmented reality technical manual allows every driver to easily tune the car, identify issues and make simple fixes.

The cost of the races, according to our plans (7 race weekends, 2 races in each weekend) should be 40,000 euros thanks to the use of small-medium tracks and the technologies we develop which allows the driver to be a lot more independent of 3rd party experts.
…
Now that the G1 car is ready, we are working on getting the first G1 Series season off the ground. We aim to start in Italy, but we are certainly open to suggestions from all over the world. Drivers, race teams and motorsports entrepreneurs - contact us.
