Build it yourself
(This is just a tiny bit bigger than regular microscale, but still smaller than
minifig size. I hope it’s appropriate here.)
I really like Lego’s Tiny Turbos line. Great vehicles, excellent partspacks, and
not too ‘spensive.
Inspired by the builds, I set off to build the vehicle that was still missing
from the turbo’s lineup: a formula 1 car.
Naturally, this would require plenty of SNOT. After several failed attempts I
came up with a solution that’s both elegant and very sturdy. Apart from the
newer 1x3 slopes, it only uses oldschool parts. I’d love to see Lego release
something like this as a set, but I guess the design may be a bit too complex
for their liking.
Anyway, PLMKWYT.

Awesome!
This is really cool, and a really nice use for that new curved slope. I love
the construction of it, especially the upside down chassis and use of the
brackets. I just built myself a red one, although I’ve slightly modified the
cockpit area to insert a driver.
I really like your instructions too. They are a refreshing change from the
typical rendered ones.
Thanks for posting,

This is great. One of the best microscale mocs I’ve seen in a long time. There
is some slick construction in it too. Very well done!

Very nice! You've captured the look of an F1 car and demonstrated great
snotwork too. I can't wait to build a track full of them.

Fantastic! While, IMHO, your work is surely an appropriate microscale, I can
easily imagine a whole “mesoscale” world build around your cars.
I need to build more....
