World's largest Lego Formula 1 car assembled from 500,000 bricks

Sept. 27 (UPI) -- Organizers of the upcoming Saudi Arabian Formula 1 Grand Prix promoted the event by assembling the world's largest Lego Formula 1 car from 500,000 bricks.

The Saudi Automobile & Motorcycle Federation employed a group of professional Lego builders to assemble the green Formula 1 car at Jeddah's Red Sea Mall.

The finished product, composed of 500,000 Lego bricks, took the Guinness World Record from Ferrari, which previously assembled a Formula 1 car from 350,000 bricks.

The Saudi Arabian Formula 1 Grand Prix is scheduled to take place in Jeddah in December.
