Lego Derby Car #5
After doing several Races round the dining room table with the modded the Lego City Race Car Sets (60322) that I made my nephew, It was very aparrent how frail they were, and how easily it was to knock loose the driver from the cockpit. With my nephews neophyte lego skills in mind I set out to build something new for him that was both simple and robust. What I ended up with was this modern take on a much older Lego race car set. It's a bit more complicated to build than set 60322, thanks to the air intake mounted behind the driver, and the intake on the nose, but it is much more durable than the Lego City Race Car. It's even been crash tested, and holds up remarkably well in comparison. The design was inspired various open wheel race cars from the 50s and 60s, mainly Indy and F1 Cars. I plan to make a series of these cars, all with slight variations in design, and currently have two under construction.
