Headline: LEGO Technic 'Master Builders' Building A Version OF Peugeot's Le Mans Hypercar
Caption: To mark the Centenary of the iconic Le Mans 24-hour race, master LEGO Technic builders and the elite hypercar design team from PEUGEOT Sport are taking on their greatest build challenge to date – scaling up the LEGO Technic PEUGEOT 9x8 24H Le Mans Hybrid Hypercar to 11:1 scale… in just 24 hours. After unveiling the LEGO Technic model in April, the teams have been working towards the challenge. With LEGO Technic builds of this size usually taking teams of 8 builders, over 5 months to build construct, the team taking on this challenge have just 24 hours to see if they can beat the clock and recreate the formidable hyper car just as the real Peugeot takes to the Le Mans track in the race of the century. At 19:00 CEST on Friday (09June2023) the builders, will kick off the endurance build challenge right to the classic Circuit de la Sarthe track at the PEUGEOT Sport stand in the Fan Village. Visitors will be able to experience the car being assembled live on-site by 12 design, engineering, and building specialists from the LEGO team in Kladno, Czech Republic. To make it possible (fingers crossed), the team has developed a concept for ‘hyper elements’ – upscaled versions of regular LEGO Technic elements made from hundreds of individual LEGO Technic pieces – that will be used by the master builders for the first time on the day. The chequered flag will be waved at 19:00 CEST Saturday 10 June.
