The LEGO cars are back this weekend!!

A closer look at the LEGO karts that are made up of nearly 30,000 bricks and can reach 20mph.
It’s going to be carnage on Sunday 😅

As everyone is convinced the cars will be too slow to notice them moving down the straights at some events this year, should the short format race be called the "Dawdle", or the "Perambulate", perhaps the "Jog" suits it best.

Who's going to win the Silverstone "Jog" on Saturday? I guess it's a Merc driver or Max, realistically, as they have the best PUs on the grid and thus should be able to jog longer than Ferrari et al.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.

The same reason they have roll hoops. You can't trust racing drivers not to nerf each other at some point and that leads to the risk of a roll or a driver being ejected from the car. As these things are worth millions (the drivers, that is), they want to protect them.
