Toronto – The Formula 1® Exhibition Toronto, presented by TSN, has been extended until September 15, 2024, and fans will now have the chance to marvel at a spectacular new feature: a life-sized LEGO® McLaren F1® race car. The intricate model, built from 175,000 LEGO bricks over 2000 hours, was created in collaboration with McLaren F1® and showcases detailed technical aspects including a V6 engine with moving pistons and visible internal mechanics.
The LEGO McLaren race car, which made its debut at the FORMULA 1 CANADIAN GRAND PRIX 2024 in Montreal, is making its first appearance in Toronto. McLaren driver Lando Norris, a known LEGO enthusiast, visited the car during its Montreal debut, adding to its excitement.
