LEGO 60399 Green Race Car
LEGO Audio & Braille Building Instructions for the LEGO City Great Vehicles set "Green Race Car".
Gear up for high-speed fun with the LEGO City Green Race Car. Get behind the wheel of this supercool racer and prepare for pedal-to-the-metal action! Make a tire-screeching start, zip around bends and whiz past the photographer to cross the finish line in record time! Then take a lap of honor with the winner's trophy before heading to the next racetrack.
The box cover shows the green race car with black and orange airbrushing and the number 40 on the engine hood. The car is speeding around the racetrack, it's so fast that the tires are positively smoking! The driver has a self-confident smile on her face as she is maneuvering the vehicle. On the side of the racetrack, a sports photographer is taking a picture of the racer. In the background of the scene, the spectator stands surrounding the racetrack are packed with excited fans. Some of the garages of the different race cars are also visible, but they are all empty of course as the cars are racing each other at the moment. Now, it's time for you to join the race – ready, set, go!
Open the box. This can be tricky; ask someone to help you!
The box contains 1 booklet with visual building instructions, 2 unnumbered bags, and 1 loose piece: a wagon bottom 6x10 with 4 connectors.
Carefully open all bags. Before you start building, ask a sighted person to help you sort the pieces by color. This makes finding the correct pieces even easier!
First, we will build the race driver Minifigure with trophy.
Note that the basic pieces for the race driver Minifigure and the basic pieces for the photographer Minifigure have identical shapes. They only differ in color and prints, so pay close attention to the colors of the pieces, or ask a sighted person to help you confirm the correct pieces.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 white, black and bright orange upper part of the body,
and 1 white pair of legs.
Put the upper body on the legs. Make sure that hands and toes are pointing in the same direction. The elbows should bend to the back.
Find 1 bright yellow Minifigure head. (Only the face print differs from the photographer's head. Ask a sighted person to confirm the correct piece.)
Put it on the body.
Next, we will assemble the driver's helmet.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 white safety helmet with chin strap,
and 1 transparent helmet visor.
Snap the visor into the opening of the helmet. Use the small nubs inside the visor ends and the matching indentations on the helmet.
Put the helmet on the head.
Find 1 dark nougat brown hairpiece with side parting and ponytail.
When the racer is not driving her car, you can exchange the helmet for the hair.
Now, we will build the winner's trophy.
Collect the following 2 pieces:
1 medium stone grey plate 2x2 with 1 knob,
and 1 dark stone grey anvil piece 1x2 with 1 knob.
Put the plate 2x2 on the table.

The winner's trophy is finished! Well done! What a worthy prize for a breathtaking race. Who will claim it at the end of the competition?
The race driver Minifigure with trophy is finished! Well done! The race driver is wearing a white racing suit. The pants are fully white while the sleeves of the jacket are black. It has a protected zipper strip, black shoulder patches with pale green bottom lines, and 2 vertical pale green stripes running down along each side at the front and back. Across the chest, there is a bold black stripe with the word "AIR" in white letters and a yin-yang-shaped symbol with a blue and orange drop. The race driver has a very confident smile on her face. It seems that we are dealing with an experienced racer who loves a challenge!
Next up, we will build the photographer Minifigure.

The camera is finished! Well done! Snap its side handle into one of the photographer's hands. Its impressive zoom lens helps the photographer to take close-up pictures of the race while being far away from the actual action.
The photographer Minifigure is finished! Great job! He is wearing dark blue pants and a blue T-shirt with an abstract print on it: a white triangle shape with a red center. He is wearing a teal blue puffer jacket with zipper over his shirt. He has a happy expression on his face. It seems that he is looking forward to the upcoming race!
