They're off and racing at Mt Hondarama

It may be a while before there’s racing at Australia’s most famous circuit, Bathurst’s Mount Panorama, but that hasn’t stopped car enthusiasts from experiencing it – albeit a very small version of it.

Honda Australia commissioned Lego master, Ryan ‘The Brickman’ McNaught, to create a special version of the track, but with a Honda twist.

'Mount Hondarama’ is 3.3 metres long and 1.8 metres wide, weighs approximately 210 kilograms and took a team of eight builders over 650 hours to construct, using more than 150,000 Lego bricks.

“The biggest challenge for us this year is the fact that we’ve got lots of moving pieces. Moving parts are very challenging to do with Lego, let alone having cars actually racing around a Lego model,” said McNaught, a Lego certified professional.

Mount Hondarama includes many of Honda’s most recognised products transformed into Lego, including its latest cars, motorcycles and power equipment, along with some iconic cars from years gone by. There is also a Honda dealership and service centre, a Formula One car to represent Honda’s global motorsport activities, as well as the unique HondaJet, which is the fastest, highest-flying, quietest and most fuel-efficient jet in its class.
