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.

Driving Control
This first module looks like a front cabine and control of a sizties or seventies concept car 3 wheeler. I love the shape and the use of the simplecontrol dashboard slope brick. I would have tried to add a kind of wiggle mechanism so it could steer.
Driving Axle
This model is the second main body module that can be used as fron and rear end module. This module has a rear axle with a Light Gray Technic, Gear 24 Tooth with 3 Axle Holes to drive other modules like a drive shaft for a rotor or a propellor. It also has some mimicking of bodywork.
