Review for LEGO set 8423 World Grand Prix Racing Rivalry from Brickset
“The lightning McQueen build has many interesting snot techniques and has a multitude of printed elements unlike the 2017 juniors one this one feels as if you are actually building something . The Francesco is much of the same as he is a substantial build with a lot less... More printed pieces but has still got tricky angles captured very well. This a great all around set with iconic characters and a well done build and with that in mind I recommend it .”

About Cars
The Cars 2 figures are not minifigures but the cars themselves, small vehicles built around printed windscreen eyes and mouths so each car has its face from the film. Lightning McQueen and Mater appear in several versions, Mater with a parachute or a headset, and the spy story of the film brought Finn McMissile with his water skis and wings. The racers include Francesco Bernoulli and Jeff Gorvette, and the villains are Professor Zundapp, Grem, Acer and Petrov Trunkov. Luigi and Guido from the pit crew, the fire truck Red, the Queen and the ships and cranes of the oil rig fill out the cast.
