The LEGO Group has announced the new sets it will produce for the 2023 Speed Champions range, revealing the McLaren Vision Gran Turismo-inspired Solus among the five sets on offer.
“I awoke one day and wondered, why does this car with a famously rattly structure that I put what are essentially straight pipes and foot-wide aggressive tires on each corner make so much noise when cruising?”

Here is ‘Project S2000 – Part 1’, where I modify a Honda S2000 using Gran Turismo 7 and then do the same to my car in real life. In the first of two episodes, we focus on the mods in-game, and then in the real world at my Dad’s workshop.
