Maybe. I think 'Racers' is a branding thing that LEGO has choosen to do. To
explain, sometime around the beginning of the 2002 set year, LEGO deleted the
Technic moniker from most (possibly all) set boxes. Various Bionicle sets, which
had 'Technic' prominently displayed in 2001, beginning with 2002 have only
'Bionicle'. Same with 'Racers', Technic in 2001, then only Racers in 2002. Also
noted the same change in Star Wars. I don't think these sets are any less
Technic beginning in 2002, just that they are no longer branded as such.
Which begs the question... Has 'Technic' been retired ?
