6551 Chequered Flag 500 is a Town set released in 1992 as part of the Race line. It contains a baseplate with the start/finish line of a race track, two cross country race cars, a grand stand, a pit stop and six minifigures, including two race pilots, race organizers and spectators.
Description[edit | edit source]
On the right side of the start/finish line are a pole with start-lights, a grandstand for the race organizer, and a pit stop with oil drums, a fire extinguisher and a tool rack. The barricades bear the Octan logo.
The two racers share the same design and feature spring suspensions and large rear spoilers. They are labelled with the numbers "2" and "4".
Among the six included minifigures are the two race pilots, two race organizers, one with a walkie talkie and one with a chequered flag, as well as a male and a female spectator.
Notes[edit | edit source]
- The baseplate appeared in just two other sets, 6339 Shuttle Launch Pad from 1995 and 1821 Rally Racers from 1996.
- Both race cars are identical in design to 6648 Mag Racer and differed only in colour.
