Lando Norris drives LEGO P1 at Silverstone

[@Oxytocin_NA]

he would've driven it pretty slow, considering it literally is just a one(the only) big toy car... the editing just makes it seem fast

[@33smimu]

@@Oxytocin_NA You can see the wing mirror about to snap off from how fast he's going.

[@divirusp]

@@33smimu the fact that a part of a lego build is about to snap off doesn't mean it was driving fast. It equally could mean it wasn't very reliable. Editors for sure did a great job to trick our perceptions. Would love to see the unedited lap as well. 1:43-1:48 gives a bit of a feeling he was driving rather slow really, maybe around 5 mph, especially when the car with the camera is visible.

[@33smimu]

@@divirusp Never said he was going fast, only that it was sufficiently fast for the Lego to be flexing.

Exactly, if it hadnt been for the short video description I would have assumed that it had some non-lego engine - albeit some small electric one. And what about the chassi? We were given much more insight on the Bugatti project.

[@DonBarracuda117]

Heard about this on the Behind The Glass podcast, what an amazing effort! The engineering effort that went into this is mindbending

[@zqwc]

So to give some context. The max speed for the lap was 30mph. And the lego pieces were built over a reinforced chassis and frame so its really only a fancy bodykit. Beyond that the lego pieces were all special ordered and bonded together using a solvent that literally melts and welds the pieces together.

[@MrBrukmann]

Yes this presentation was insanely cynical and off-putting, edited to mislead, which by the comments clearly it has. I feel bad for anyone expecting more of this build than a body-kit, seems like a lot of people. Galaxy-brained marketing, and rich guys blowing resources.

[@Tyler_J_Cook]

"In a groundbreaking collaboration, McLaren Automotive and the LEGO Group have created a life-size, drivable replica of the iconic McLaren P1™, made entirely from LEGO Technic elements. This unique vehicle, crafted with an impressive 342,817 pieces, was put to the test by McLaren Formula 1 driver Lando Norris as he completed a thrilling lap around the historic Silverstone Circuit. The life-size LEGO Technic McLaren P1™ weighs approximately 1,220 kg and features fully functional steering, marking a first for LEGO big builds that allows a model to navigate corners on a racetrack. This extraordinary creation was the result of 8,344 hours of hard work by a dedicated team of 23 specialists from both the LEGO and McLaren teams. It is powered by an electric motor comprised of LEGO Technic Function batteries and features eight motor packs, each made up of 96 LEGO Power Function motors. In total, the vehicle showcases 768 LEGO motors that emulate the performance of the original McLaren P1™ V8 engine."

LEGO Brick Livery, when? Having the car look like it's made out of actual Lego on a race weekend would be mental. With Lando and Oscar's helmets looking like a Lego head, and the gloves looking like Lego Hands.. Fellas.. the idea is right there.

[@Naydax]

Anyone else notice they kept replaying the exact same engine sound over and over?😂

[@Nereosis16]

So freaking weird. They say it has Lego motors in it so why would it make the sound of a combustion engine? This whole video is extremely misleading and makes me question the whole thing. Honestly, I don't believe they did anything but put a lgo body on a p1 frame with just the electric motor and no combustion engine. If you are telling the truth then why lie?

Nah man i read somewhere that it can go around 60 kilometres per hour

[@Nereosis16]

It also makes combustion engine sounds but it's an electric car with Lego motors? None of this adds up.

[@ross-carlson]

I wish there had been more detail about the chassis and power train - that did look like a P1 wheel and dash so did they just take the body off a P1 and replace it with a lego body? That's incredibly impressive but again, more details please! I see the brake calipers look to be lego - again I assume those are just visual covers of the real calipers....

[@worminator15]

we need more detail! pls

[@adnanrahman5883]

i would assume its a carbon tub with lego built around it, looks like he isn't wearing a seat belt either so it's very slow

[@nerfgodbigguy1405]

The chassis (plus suspention) is a p1 ,the tub is made of carbon fiber ,and the rest is lego ,the drivetrain (including hundreds of lego e motors) , the body work, the full interior plus floor seats and dash, basically everything. The wing also. So the only things that are the actual thing is ,the chassis (you have to have that), suspention and the carbon fibre tub that's it.

[@Tjspycorp]

The brakes shown are not functional. The calipers are Lego, and so are the rotors as well.

[@Tjspycorp]

@@nerfgodbigguy1405he did specifically say the used no carbon fiber. But maybe was only talking about the body
