About LEGO Town Racing

The LEGO Town Racing theme, active from 1980 to 1999, centered on motorsports and competitive racing. Key sets include 6395 Victory Lap Raceway, a comprehensive racing circuit with grandstands and pit areas, and 6335 Indy Transport, featuring a transporter truck and race cars for Indy-style racing. The 6337 Fast Track Finish set provided a finish line and race infrastructure to complete the racing experience.
1980 LEGO Sets
In 1980, LEGO introduced the LEGO Train theme, building upon previous train sets but now incorporating 12-volt systems for electrification. The year also marked the debut of the LEGO Classic Space theme, adding a new dimension to LEGO's portfolio with sets that focused on futuristic and extraterrestrial exploration. Additionally, the Technic line, which emphasized more advanced building techniques with specialized parts, continued its growth.
