F1 Truck RB20 & AMR24 (#60445)
The Earl of Bricks
THE EARL'S TAKE

This set drops into a weird space that LEGO City hasn't really explored before—it's not selling you a fantasy of driving fast cars, it's selling you the unglamorous logistics of why those cars exist at all. The F1 truck isn't the protagonist here; the two vehicles it carries are. That reversal matters because it forces the build to justify itself through authenticity rather than spectacle. You're assembling the infrastructure, the support system, the reason Formula 1 even happens. That's either brilliant or niche depending on who you are.

The controversial part? This set requires you to care about Red Bull and Aston Martin specifically. LEGO didn't hedge with generic "racing team" aesthetics—these are branded vehicles with real liveries. The paddock drama isn't incidental flavor text; it's the entire reason to build this particular truck instead of any other cargo transport. Serious builders will immediately ask: does the engineering justify the license, or is the license doing all the heavy lifting? After 1,086 pieces, the answer is more complicated than you'd expect.

THE REVIEW
Build Experience

At 1,086 pieces, the F1 Truck is the largest set in the entire LEGO City Formula 1 range - nearly double the piece count of the F1 Garage (#60444) and more than ten times the smallest City F1 entry. The build is a genuine project, requiring 2-3 hours for an experienced builder and potentially a full afternoon for the target age group of 8+. The scope is ambitious: a full-size transport truck with cab, trailer, and ramp mechanism, plus two complete City-scale F1 cars representing Oracle Red Bull Racing (RB20) and Aston Martin (AMR24).

The two F1 cars build first, following the familiar City F1 chassis architecture. The Red Bull car assembles in dark blue with yellow and red accents, while the Aston Martin arrives in dark green with lime highlights. Building them consecutively creates the same livery-comparison experience as the Williams/Haas two-pack (#60464), but with two cars that are more visually dramatic in their color contrast - midnight blue against racing green is a combination that feels premium even at City scale.

The truck itself is the main event. The cab construction uses a combination of bricks, panels, and windscreen elements to create a modern transport vehicle with F1 team branding. The trailer section is the most substantial subassembly, featuring a fold-down ramp mechanism that allows the F1 cars to be loaded and unloaded. The trailer walls use large panel elements with printed F1 graphics, and the interior includes mounting points that hold both cars securely during display. The entire truck-and-trailer assembly rolls on functioning wheels and steers through the cab's front axle. For younger builders, this is a lesson in large-scale vehicle construction; for adults, it is a satisfying evening project with genuine engineering variety.

The scale contrast between the F1 cars and the truck is one of the most satisfying aspects of the build experience. After constructing two compact, lightweight race cars in quick succession, transitioning to the substantial cab-and-trailer assembly feels like shifting from precision watchmaking to heavy engineering. The truck uses larger elements, heavier structural plates, and a fundamentally different construction logic that emphasizes durability over aerodynamic detail. That shift in building character keeps the 2-3 hour session feeling varied and prevents the fatigue that can set in during single-subject builds of this length. By the time you load the finished F1 cars into the completed trailer via the fold-down ramp, you have built across two entirely different scales and vehicle types - and that cross-scale satisfaction is unique to this set within the City F1 range.

Technique Value

The truck introduces construction techniques that no other City F1 set delivers. The trailer ramp mechanism uses a hinge-and-latch assembly that folds the rear panel down to create a loading ramp, then secures it back into closed position for transport display. This is a practical mechanical feature that demonstrates how hinge geometry and latch connections work in vehicle design. The cab-to-trailer connection uses a standard City truck coupling that allows the two sections to articulate for turning, teaching the basic principle of articulated vehicle design.

The car mounting system inside the trailer uses bracket connections that hold both F1 cars in fixed positions during display. This is a subtle but smart design choice - it means the truck can be displayed with the trailer closed and the cars invisible, or with the trailer open and the cars visible on their mounts, or with the cars removed entirely for standalone display. The versatility of the mounting system gives builders three distinct display configurations from one set. The cars themselves use standard City F1 construction, but comparing the dark blue Red Bull and dark green Aston Martin side by side demonstrates how LEGO differentiates aerodynamic profiles at this simplified scale.

Parts Haul

1,086 pieces delivers the largest parts haul of any set in the City F1 range. The spread covers three distinct building contexts: vehicle bodywork in dark blue and dark green for the F1 cars, truck cab construction in branded livery colors, and large-scale trailer assembly in black, dark grey, and panel elements. The sheer volume of standard bricks, plates, and structural elements makes this set a practical bulk parts source for builders who plan to eventually disassemble. The dark blue elements from the Red Bull car and the dark green from the Aston Martin are both useful, non-standard colors that accumulate slowly in most collections.

The truck-specific elements are the most distinctive parts in the spread. Large panel elements, windscreen pieces, wheel arch assemblies, and the specialized trailer coupling are all useful for any large-vehicle MOC project. The tire and wheel assemblies include both the smaller City F1 car wheels and the larger truck wheels, giving builders two different wheel scales from one set. Five minifigures with team-specific printing add figure value, and the various accessories - tools, equipment, signage - round out a parts haul that is genuinely comprehensive. At the retail price point, the per-piece cost is competitive with other large City sets and significantly better than buying the equivalent parts individually.

Display Quality

The F1 Truck creates a display piece that is fundamentally different from every other City F1 set. Where the cars and garage recreate the pit lane, the truck represents the logistics side of Formula 1 - the transport operation that moves cars between circuits. This behind-the-scenes aspect of F1 is rarely represented in LEGO form, and the truck fills a narrative gap in the City F1 lineup. Displayed with the trailer open and both cars visible on their mounts, the set tells a story of arrival: the cars are here, the circuit is ready, race weekend is about to begin.

The truck measures approximately 44cm long, making it a substantial presence on any shelf. The F1 branding on the trailer panels and cab give it an official, motorsport-logistics look that reads correctly at City scale. The Red Bull dark blue and Aston Martin dark green cars provide color interest against the darker truck body. With the trailer closed, the display is a sleek transport vehicle; with it open, it becomes a reveal moment that adds dramatic tension to a shelf display. Positioned alongside the F1 Garage (#60444), you get a complete paddock logistics scene: cars arriving by truck, being serviced in the garage, and heading to the grid. That narrative arc across two sets is compelling.

Value for Money

1,086 pieces, two F1 cars, a transport truck with functional ramp, and five minifigures at the retail price point. The per-piece cost is the lowest in the entire City F1 range, making this the best raw brick value available. The build time is the longest, the display is the largest, and the parts spread is the most comprehensive. On virtually every quantitative metric, the F1 Truck leads the City F1 wave.

The qualitative value depends on what you prioritize. If display detail on the cars themselves is paramount, the Ferrari Pit Stop (#60443) and the F1 Garage (#60444) deliver more focused F1 atmosphere. If build time, parts volume, and play versatility are your metrics, the F1 Truck is the clear winner. For children who want a toy they can play with for hours - loading cars, driving the truck, unloading at the circuit - this set delivers more sustained play value than any other City F1 release. For adult collectors, the truck adds a dimension to the City F1 display that nothing else in the range provides.

MINIFIGURES
Included Minifigures
LEGO 60445 F1 Truck with RB20 and AMR24 F1 Cars and minifigures

Five minifigures are included: two F1 drivers and three crew/logistics figures. The Red Bull driver wears a dark blue racing suit with the Oracle Red Bull Racing branding, yellow and red accent printing, and a team-branded helmet. The Aston Martin driver wears a dark green racing suit with Aramco sponsor graphics and the distinctive lime green accents that define the team's 2024 identity. Both drivers use the updated 2025 helmet mold and include alternate hair pieces for helmetless display.

The three crew figures include a truck driver in logistics uniform and two team crew members in branded workwear. The truck driver carries a clipboard accessory, while the crew members have tool accessories appropriate to their transport and setup roles. The variety across five figures creates natural play scenarios around the delivery and preparation of F1 cars at a race circuit. All five figures are unique to this set and do not appear in the Speed Champions versions of the Red Bull RB20 (#77243) or Aston Martin AMR24 (#77245), which use more detailed printing at the Speed Champions level.

Who Is This Set For?

The F1 Truck is for the builder who wants the most complete City F1 experience in a single box. If you are buying one set from the City F1 range - whether for yourself or as a gift for an F1-obsessed child - this is the one that delivers the most build time, the most vehicles, the most minifigures, and the most play versatility. At 1,086 pieces, it is a genuine project that will occupy hours of engaged building and weeks of sustained play.

It is also for the builder who appreciates the behind-the-scenes logistics of Formula 1. Most F1 LEGO sets focus on the glamorous moments - the racing, the pit stops, the podium celebrations. The F1 Truck focuses on the journey that makes those moments possible: the transport of cars from factory to circuit, the logistics that move a billion-dollar operation across continents. If you are the F1 fan who watches the truck convoys arrive at each Grand Prix and wonders what happens inside those trailers, this set answers that curiosity in brick form.

For the City F1 completist building a comprehensive paddock display, the Truck fills the arrival narrative that no other set addresses. Cars arrive by truck, get serviced in the garage, line up on the grid, and race through the pit lane. The Truck is chapter one of that story, and without it, the narrative begins in the middle. Five minifigures, two F1 cars, and a transport truck with working ramp make this the most ambitious City F1 set and the most rewarding.

THE GOOD
  • ✓ 1,086 pieces - largest and best per-piece value in City F1 range
  • ✓ Two F1 cars (Red Bull and Aston Martin) plus a full transport truck
  • ✓ Functional trailer ramp mechanism for loading and unloading
  • ✓ Five minifigures with team-specific printing
  • ✓ Unique logistics/transport angle that no other F1 set covers

ROOM TO IMPROVE
  • ✗ Cars use simplified City chassis rather than Speed Champions detail
  • ✗ Truck dominates the display - cars can feel secondary
  • ✗ Highest price point in the City F1 range
The Earl's Verdict
The F1 Truck is the biggest, most ambitious set in the City F1 lineup. 1,086 pieces, a full transport truck with working ramp, a Red Bull RB20, an Aston Martin AMR24, and five minifigures make it the most complete play experience in the wave. It tells a part of the F1 story that the pit lane sets cannot: the logistics, the transport, the journey from factory to circuit. For builders who want the most brick for their dollar and the most sustained play value in one box, this is the City F1 set to buy.

MOC Potential

The truck itself—separated from the branded vehicles—is a legitimate transport chassis that works as a modular platform. The suspension geometry is sound enough that swapping out the F1-specific loading bay for other cargo systems is genuinely viable. You've got a functioning gooseneck trailer with articulation that actually moves, which means the base model scales up cleanly if you want to build a larger paddock complex or integrate it into a broader logistics MOC. The part count supports experimentation without leaving you short on structural elements.

What catches serious builders off-guard is how much of this set's value lives in the *connectivity* rather than the vehicles themselves. The truck-to-paddock assembly points, the loading mechanisms, the way the two cars actually nest into the transport bed—these are the pieces that matter for custom work. Strip away the F1 branding and you've got a genuinely useful cargo system that scales. That's rare in licensed City sets, where the whole point is usually just displaying the branded vehicle exactly as designed.
