“Overall, a simple set but one that had a very visual appeal to it and it was a winner in my book! 9 out of 10! The car was very simple even for the time, being more of a "kart racer" than an actual car with doors or even wheel guards, but the basics are all there (4 studs... More wide, like all of its contemporaries) and it's done in lovely bright colors to really add to the Town sets of the time. The printed front brick is very distinctive even now. Even in the early 80s there seemed to be a lot of Police and Fire sets so a racer really stood out as a special figure.”

About Town Racing

The LEGO Town Racing theme, active from 1980 to 1999, centered on motorsports and competitive racing. Key sets include 6395 Victory Lap Raceway, a comprehensive racing circuit with grandstands and pit areas, and 6335 Indy Transport, featuring a transporter truck and race cars for Indy-style racing. The 6337 Fast Track Finish set provided a finish line and race infrastructure to complete the racing experience.

Racing consists of 48 sets that ran from 1980 to 1999. As of today, 6395 Victory Lap Raceway is the most valuable Racing set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $646.
