History
Four generations, one bloodline — and more than a century of motorsport standing behind the Hyper Racer X1.
Created by Four Generations
of Motorsport Racers
Jon and Dean Crooke are the 3rd and 4th generation of Australia's first-family of auto racing...dating back to 1904. 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 developing in the United States.
