October 05, 2016 2 Comments A+ a-


Formula One ? Dakar Rallye ? Le Mans ? No, no, no, not good enough ... I have something better for you. :) For the world of car racing, there is a new challenge ! LEGO car racing duel.
Imagine a line of LEGO super cars all revved to the max and prepared to compete each other. It must be spectacular !
Who will be the winner and who will be the last one ?
All of these cars are real masterpieces and each of them will be tested based on 5 different criteria - horsepower, top speed, 0-100 km/h, Nürburgring lap time and current market price. Then, of course, I will choose a winner.
Let the race begin ! :)
