“This F1 (and/or Indy 500) racer, released in 1999, is quite similar in size and function to the prior 8440. Although the front and rear axles are supported by control arms capable of being used for suspension, there are no shock absorbers and therefore no suspension. The... More primary new feature is the damped opening engine cover and the use of the new panels, flex axles, and ribbed hose to create a more curved and stylized appearance.”

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
Summary
Technic Indy Storm set 8445 was released in September 1999, retailing for $40, but has since been retired. New, unopened Indy Storm sets are valued at $169, while used sets can be found for $59 in good condition.
