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,

J
