Thank you, I appreciate that! I did consider using regular blue. When I began building, it was the colour I preferred as it is closer to the real car. Looking at the even more limited part options in blue though, I opted to go for the dark azure instead.

Thanks guys, I appreciate that! Sounds like a good way of doing it though! I am considering using the small linear actuators to move it

Thank you! Next to building with Lego, I like to do photoshoots/ video as well, so this is a nice way to combine those interests. With a story like theirs, I just had to pay an hommage to it

Interesting option. I'll add it to the list for my next build, it might be difficult to integrate with the things I have planned so far, but we'll see

Thanks! Yeah I agree on that part, the front was the most challenging (also considering the part availability in this colour) That is indeed how. The thin 3L liftarms are slid against the connector, keeping it in place quite good. The steering is a bit heavy, and only works well when rolling the car, but the toe stays quite well. Though I don't really steer that much, so maybe over time it will need some readjusting

Nice work, might look into it further for future builds!

Very clean! I like the way you managed to integrate the battery pack

Really cool build, great use of the new suspension parts! I'm curious to see what they will bring, having proper suspension on smaller models is really nice to have

Thanks! I fully agree. These wheels are a really good fit for 1:8 scale, and the width is indeed another reason I picked these. Besides the fact that it is closer to the correct scale, the extra room is really nice to have and allows for the more advanced suspension, which is something I like to work on. Thank you, I appreciate that!

Thanks! It's not 1:10 though, it's actually my first 1:8 model. It's probably the rims that threw you off, they're normally used on 1:10 scale, but I used larger tires which fit 1:8 better. It does not use the standard 1:8 scale wheels, as they are way more expensive, and these tires actually matched the real race tires better than the thin walled ones that the official models use

The Ford GT In 2016, 50 years after Ford had their first victory at Le Mans, they entered again, this time with the Ford GT LM GTE. On their return, they managed to win again with the number 68 car. This car was the inspiration for this build. The Build I started this car back in 2020, though due to various reasons it took way longer than I expected. However, I am pleased to finally present you te result! I wanted this car to have various (realistic) functions, matching those of the real car. Initially, I also planned on adding the stickers, though I decided against it at the end. This does explain the building style with the closed bodywork. The car has the following features: Butterfly doors with springloaded clamps V6 Sequential 6+N+R gearbox Advanced suspension Removable bodywork The doors have springs in them. These spring are attached to a lever which clamps the door to a 1L liftarm, keeping it shut. When opened with enough force, the spring releases, allowing the door to be opened. When closed, the clamp shuts the door again. The gearbox is not a standard one. It has 3 sub-gearboxes. There are 2 at the back, which shift either speeds R+N+1+2, or 3+4+5+6. The one in the front selects which of these 2 is active. There is a stop preventing shifting from 6 to R or vice versa. The suspension is also far from standard. The rear is the simpler of the two, having only an anti-roll bar. The front is more advanced. It has an anti-roll bar as well, though next to this, it has Ackermann steering geometry, a positive caster angle, a negative camber angle and adjustable toe, though this last one is necessary with the given geometry to align the wheels properly. Finally, the bodywork is removable. The engine cover and front panel are easily removable, but the rest is more difficult, though it is doable. I am quite pleased with the result, though probably with the new suspension, gearbox and structural pieces it is likely possible to build a cleaner chassis with even more functions. Therefor, I am looking forward to starting my next build! It is also on ReBrickable here: ReBrickable Below I have a selection of photos, but there are more, including WIP, on Flickr here: Flickr

Great work at this scale, looks very good!

Wow, incredible! The entire car looks really cool, but I especially like the steering wheel and the seats, they are so detailed!

Really cool build. The paneling looks very good, especially considering the difficult shape. I would love to see some more photos if possible, showing some more details

This is really cool, I like it a lot. The front is very well made! For the overhang, I have a different solution. Now, my building style is very different as I want to add the sponsors on the car, so I need a flat, gapless underground, but maybe it can give you inspiration: FordLMGTE_10.4 by Jerry LEGO Creations, on Flickr Small edit: this is a bit of an older version of the car, but it shows the overhang the best

Good to see you tackle this one and especially in this colour. I'm struggeling on the front of mine, so some extra inspiration never hurts I think It's looking very clean so far Looking forward to the progress updates!

I quite like the new way, I think it looks better than the previous version

Wow... absolutely amazing! It looks really good, when you see it you don't even expect 10 motors to be in there :D Awesome model!

Wow, I'm looking forward to this one a lot. I have considered making this one as well, but in the end I chose something different. It's an amazing car, and I can't wait to see how you'll tackle this one!

Very nice, quite a bit better than the first version! I really like how the yellow looks on this car

I love it! The car is nice too ;)

Nice! I like the overall shape. The back is the best part imo

Wow, so many functions for a midscale model, and motorized on top of that! Great job!

This is amazing! I'm happy to see you building farming equipment, since it gives the opportunity to add different functions. I really like the reel, can't wait to see it finished!

This is really cool! I like how you did the switch box
