Finally ready to show off this one! The early LMP era is quite underrepresented in the community, so I've decided to tackle one of the fan-favourite cars from the category. While Audi came in and dominated everything for several years, Panoz was the one team that was considered a real threat to them. Always loved the Panoz LMPs, especially the Evo. Overall very happy with this one. Such a cool car, and I think I captured it decently well. I hope you guys enjoy!

I usually spend my time in the Technic Forum, but during a couple of Zoom meetings, I built this little LMP (LeMans Prototype) car in Octan colors to go with some of the other 8 wide Speed Champions cars. Free instructions at Rebrickable if you want to build your own. And in all white, before I decided it needed a little color.

With the 24 Hours of Le Mans approaching this weekend and seeing some other LMP cars on here recently, I decided to post as well! This is the Audi R18 in 2016 colors, on its last race year, more description below. I've been fascinated with the Le Mans 24 hour Endurance race since I was a little boy. My father shared his passion for auto racing with me and naturally, I also got hooked! After recently visiting an World Endurance Championship race this year and seeing a life sized Porsche 919 made half out of Lego and half out of a real car, I couldn't resist designing my own (although not quite as big). I know there are already a few current Lego sets that feature racecars like Speed Champs, but I wanted to design one that had a higher level of detail and really showed off the beautiful design of the LMP class. This design was done using the studless technique to keep the aerodynamic feel of an actual car. It is quite sturdy and uses standard Lego bricks/panels/slopes without requiring specialized body moldings. The car measures 11 inches (28 cm) long x 5 (12.7 cm) inches wide x 3.5 inches (8.9 cm) tall and is equivalent to 1:16 scale. It is just a bit bigger than minifig scale, although a minifig will fit inside the cockpit after removing the roof which easily comes off of two studs. The car can roll on a flat surface and has about 4 mm of ground clearance. I added racing numbers on the side panels and front for fun. Obviously more stickers could be added to make the car look even more like an actual car highlighting all the team sponsors, but I chose to keep the look clean.
