This little F1 racer, released in 1994, foreshadowed a trend of smaller, less intricate Technic models for beginning builders. Its sole function is front rack and pinion steering. It was really out of place in the 8800 series and would have fit better in future years.
This set seems more like a System set than a Technic set, utilizing studs almost exclusively for the build, but it is still a good introduction and an attempt to bridge the gap between the two themes. There is not much to say about it other than that the printed "28" piece on the nose is unique to this set. The logos on the spoiler are stickers.
The front wheels can be steered using a wheel at the driver's position. The wheel drives an axle connected to an 8 tooth pinion gear. The pinion drives a rack. The steering mechanism itself uses control arms and toothed links.
This set has 8 of the old wheels and tires. They are dual at each normal wheel position.
