About LEGO Town Racing
Racing collects the race cars and race tracks of LEGO Town, from 1980 to 1999. Formula 1 cars, stock cars, dragsters, rally cars and go-karts all had sets, and the largest set was 6395 Victory Lap Raceway from 1988, with a grandstand, a pit area and 13 minifigures.
1980 LEGO Sets
1980 refreshed the 12V Train system with remote-controlled points, signals, lighting, and decouplers, creating one of LEGO’s most sophisticated play ecosystems. Classic Space continued its rapid growth with larger craft, bases, and color-varied astronauts. Expert Builder (the forerunner to Technic) advanced functional builds with more gears and linkages, while LEGO Dacta was established to bring learning-through-play into classrooms.
