Introduction
A small set that allows you to build a Formula 1 racing car. It is unusual because it has raised rear. White color was applied here and the vehicle bears number 1 on the front. The car is equipped in wide rear spoiler and front bumper, as befits for a racing car. In addition, this vehicle has two exhausts.
Driver is wearing a black suit with a white helmet of an old type, which is elongated and without glass.
Small wheels were used here, so there is no problems with mobility. However, the profile as happens in a racing is low, so it is suitable for driving mostly on flat surfaces.
Limited LEGO-1528-1 set was released a year later in 1986, where you can find a similar racing car with a raised rear. This is a rare design and no more successors appeared or the special racetrack for that type of race cars. Flat racer finally won, such as in a set of 6503-1: Sprint-Racer.
Alternative constructions
As befits for the old set, several alternatives have been proposed. The second version of racer or a water jet, despite a few blocks, you can create several models.

It is interesting to note that in the set Motor Speedway (released 2 years after this set), the two racing cars have numbers 2 and 3 on the front, so the car number 1 is missing there.
It seems this was intentional decision, since in this way the racing car from this set 6604 (which has number 1 on the front) fits perfectly with Motor Speedway set. Both sets were sold in shops during 1987, so you could buy both of them, and have a complete set of Formulas numbered 1, 2 and 3. The production of the set 6604 stopped at the end of 1987 (because in 1988 the replacement set 6503 "Sprint racer" was released, again with number 1 on the front, so that it still can be used together with Motor Speedway). |
