This is a realistic set with an excellent price-per-piece, but both cars, especially the I-pace eTROPHY, rely on stickers way too much. It would be GREAT if some stickers covered multiple pieces. Now, to make this review easier to read I will divide it into 2 sections: the first is about the F1, the second is about the I-pace eTROPHY.

The F1 has a low piece count for a speed champions set and looks a lot like the real thing. Well, counting out the fenders. I noticed that the front bumpers are flimsy and fall off when you play with the model. Lego did a good job getting the big holes in the body, just like on the real thing. Lego also scored on the color scheme, but the stripe on the side is a bit lumpy. Also, it would be great if Lego covered up a few more studs. This car is a great display model.

When you look at the I-pace eTROPHY, it is a big model and a fun build, but it doesn't seem as curvy and sleek as the real thing. and when you look in the back window, you do not see a back seat, but you do see a bunch of ugly studs. Also, the spoiler seems too thick. There are nearly 50 stickers on the model, and many require precise lining up to others, so it would be great if some stickers covered multiple pieces. However, the stickers do make the model way more realistic. On the bright side, the model's color looks excellent and the stripes are consistent, too.

If you like fairly realistic sets or great deals, this is the set for you. If you love curves or hate stickers, try the Dodge Challenger and Dodge Charger set.

These are a pair of very sturdy race cars that look just as good on display as they do being played with. Good rolling action on the tyres and they really do look great on my shelf with other Speed Champion series vehicles.

There are some stickers to apply and a couple of them did test me but I got ther ein the end - well, good enough that I can live with them at least.

I liked that you have a male and a female minifigure driver in the set and that both have hair and helmet options. Just adds nicely to creating a story around the vehicles. I did go with the helmeted in vehicle version as it reduces the need for shelf space otherwise they would have been displayed next to the cars.

Nice addition of the starting gate which was a satsifying build despite being so simple.

Overall a good variety of building techniques are demonstrated over both vehicles and it really shows what you can achieve with only a few pieces.

I want to start my review by saying I bought this set to be displayed as models, rather than played with. This would be perfectly great to play with, so I figured it wouldn't be fair to give three stars for my little gripes that wouldn't be important for most people buying this set.

I really like the Formula E build. It's probably my favorite out of the entire Speed Champions line. Bravo to the designer for fitting so many small details and fun building techniques. However, the coupe is a different story for me. I appreciate the move to 8 width as the cars have much better proportions, but now the wheels look way too small. And this car is boxy. Really boxy. The window line and roof make it look more like an SUV than a sports car. No question though that the front end is the best part. If I could only look at it from that angle I'd be more than satisfied.

I received this as a Father’s Day gift and I am very pleased with it. Both cars are a really good size and the level of detail that has been crammed in is really impressive. It’s a good fun little build suitable for all levels of LEGO expertise. The colour schemes perfectly match the real cars and the start finish line is a good little presentation frame for them as well. The two mini figures that are included are really nice as well, both in Jaguar race suits.

At £35 this set is amazing value for money. There’s 5 bags in total so it’s nice to open a box and see it full of bricks rather than loads of empty space.

Great detailed set, perfect way to spend a rainy Sunday.
