“The F1 racing car from the Lego Technic series is a typical entry-level model. From very few individual parts a model is built here, which of course can hardly contain any functions. At least there's steering. Altogether there are three stars in the overall rating because... More there is still a certain similarity to the original. Of course, the fun with this racing car is limited.”

“This little F1 racer, released in 1994, foreshadowed a trend of smaller, less intricate Technic models for beginning builders. Its sole function is front rack and pinion steering. It was really out of place in the 8800 series and would have fit better in future years.”

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 F1 Racer set 8808 was released in February 1994, retailing for $9, but has since been retired. New, unopened F1 Racer sets are valued at $34, while used sets can be found for $5 in good condition.
