legoman19892 Posted May 10, 2015 Since Nickelodeon sponsored a NASCAR race in Kansas City, I think it wouldn't be as weird if LEGO sponsored either one race, or if they could work out a deal with Ferrari/Mercedes/Porche where for some races the car would have the Octan Logo. What do you think? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GallardoLU Posted July 14, 2015 If Lego does start a racing team, I would hope they do a design contest for liveries. I would love for them to have an annual contest for something like this and each year the cars are styled by the fans. top 2 or 3 designs actually being used as the primary design for the car/cars.

Faefrost Posted August 2, 2015 A racing team with the octan logo would be super funny! Oh hells yes. That would be perfect. Give the driver a classic minifig smiley face visor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ManInATopHat Posted August 10, 2015 This would also be a great excuse for them to build some wicked racing sets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PROlego Posted September 3, 2015 I think it most sport prototype series you can have two cars with very different liveries, it would be cool if they sponsored one of the cars from a top LM24H team to be the only (or at least main) sponsor in it. The recently sent some minifigs in Soyuz TMA 18-M with the flight of a Danish astronaut, so they should have money for this kind of activities too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PROlego Posted September 3, 2015 I think sponsoring a racing costs more than a few figs. I'm pretty sure Roscosmos isn't using precious cargo space without a paycheck that makes up for it, especially after the failure of recent resupply vehicles they would probably prefer to put other goods.

Lyichir Posted September 3, 2015 I'm pretty sure Roscosmos isn't using precious cargo space without a paycheck that makes up for it, especially after the failure of recent resupply vehicles they would probably prefer to put other goods. I presume that in the case of the Danish astronaut, the figs would have just taken some of the limited space that otherwise would have been allotted to him for selected personal effects. A few figs wouldn't take up much more space or mass than a locket or framed photo would, and it's not inconceivable that the astronaut in question might forego some other material comfort in favor of a small token of his native country.

I would think 26 figures does not fit in the personal space of a Soyuz, but I can't confirm it to you... Edited September 3, 2015 by PROlego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dr_spock Posted September 5, 2015 Chris Hadfileld had a guitar on the ISS. I think sponsoring a racing team costs more than a few figs. They can increase prices to cover it if racing sponsorship doesn't drive more customers and revenues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PROlego Posted September 6, 2015 I think a racing team is the right kind of promotion to draw more revenue for LEGO, specially prototypes. Spock, don't want to continue with the OT so I sent you a PM. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PROlego Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) Yeah but I meant proper racing not NASCAR... Just kidding, nice find. Edited September 14, 2015 by PROlego Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GallardoLU Posted September 14, 2015 Yeah but I meant proper racing not NASCAR... Just kidding, nice find. I'm curious which motorsports you are classifying as "Proper racing" I ask because the only racing that still feels wild and unpredictable is GT racing (Rally too but stage racing is hard to compare to door to door racing) LMP cars are starting to wake back up but they still feel a bit closed off from the rest of the endurance field. Touring car racing is also pretty good but sadly state side its hard to find any races being shown. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
