LEGO 77258 F1 Academy Race Car Revealed | Australian Price & March 2026 Release – Brick Island
The latest 2026 reveal for LEGO fans and motorsport enthusiasts alike celebrates the rapidly growing F1 Academy series, which champions female drivers in global motorsport. Meet the LEGO 77258 F1 Academy Race Car, an all-new Speed Champions–style release that arrives 1 March 2026, available for pre-order in Australia.
At Brick Island, we’re always glad to cover a new LEGO announcement—especially those sets that represent true innovation, diversity, and actual racing. This one has it all.
A Closer Look at the LEGO 77258 F1 Academy Race Car
Designed with authentic motorsport details, the LEGO 77258 F1 Academy Race Car captures the sleek, aerodynamic lines of a modern Formula-style machine. The model includes:
- 201 pieces
- Detailed cockpit, sculpted front nose, and distinct rear wing
- Medium compound tyres with printed Pirelli-style markings
- A female F1 Academy driver minifigure with helmet, hairpiece, and wrench
- For the collector who loves display accuracy, the car measures approximately:
- 4 cm high
- 18 cm long
- 6 cm wide
That makes it a strong addition to any Speed Champions lineup and a centerpiece for motorsport-themed collections.
Why This Set Matters
The F1 Academy continues to make waves globally as a dedicated support and elevation system for women in motorsport. LEGO’s partnership with the series—and its introduction of this set, reflect a growing push for representation on-track and in the world of creative play.
This release also coincides with LEGO’s new “LEGO Racing” identity, which has been publicly showcased alongside real F1 Academy events. To date, a brick-built F4-inspired model has not appeared in the Speed Champions line, so this truly is a milestone moment for fans.

- 77258 F1 Academy Race Car
- Retail Price (Australia): $39.99 AUD
- Release Date: 1 March 2026
