Wow, that's actually pretty cute.
What an odd name. It’s just a car, but apparently it’s the whole of Le Mans...
Le Mans, eh, well sorta. How much better can you do with 34 pieces?
Those sand green wheel arches have my attention.
@Unusual_User_Name They're lime green.
Looks quite cute.
The colors I'm not sure, but I like these little things. I think I can build it in red and blue...
Well, at least it's not covered with tiny stickers!
I had this one. Loved it so much!
@phi13 Well then that's even better.
Although apparently they should be referred to as 'Bright Yellowish Green'
I managed to rebuild some of those small Racers Tiny Turbos polybags with the parts I already had in my collection. And they are some great little sets.
Bring back racers, they were brilliant. I have most of them, some made up from parts some in sets and polybags. It was a great idea. A "matchbox" car that you could modify. The also had some great parts in metallic and glow in the dark. Even a monster truck with very large, for the scale wheels.

Nope, they’re lime
As a kid I always liked these little Racers sets, although this one is a bit plain. Lego should bring back cheap little hot-wheels-esque cars that kids can afford with their pocket money.
I'm sure that we'll get back Tiny Turbos one day, properly as well. We still get one or two a year in polybags, and they fit so well into a pocket money price point.
Yes, Le Mans - the legendary sporting event that only contains one competitor! EveryONE’s a winner!

I've been hoping for this ever since the Shell/Ferrari promos; since around that time; we had a Chevron station get bought out and rebranded to Shell; after not having had a Shell station for close to a decade beforehand; when they rebranded to Valero. Due to Greenpeace's whining, they never ended up in the US. But, this year, there is a new Lamborghini polybag in Speed Champions; which quite closely matches the old Tiny Turbos scale. While Creator's done a few, they don't even come close to being as well done.
