Released in 2020, it contains 190 pieces and focuses on a compact urban competition setup with 2 driver minifigures.
Racing Cars sits in the City theme under Traffic. It therefore belongs with City sets built around vehicles, street activity and open-ended scenes that can be combined with a wider LEGO city layout.
The set includes 190 pieces and 2 minifigures. One is a woman racer with a black, red and white jacket, red legs and a red helmet with visor. The other is a racer in a dark blue jumpsuit with an Octan E logo and a white helmet with visor. The main build focus is the pair of racing cars and the contest between their drivers.
It suits builders who want a racing moment in a City display, a street competition for play, or two compact sports vehicles to place alongside other traffic sets. Within City Traffic, it is more about rivalry and movement than everyday transport, roadside services or public infrastructure.
