Indy LeMans

Indy LeMans is a Town Race minifigure introduced in 1996.
==Description==
Indy LeMans wears a bright red racing outfit, with a printed torso featuring white and blue lines along with two white stars. He wears a bright blue Mini Crash Helmet with a transparent light blue Mini Visor 2, and the helmet is printed with red stripes and white stars. He also wears a bright yellow Life Jacket. His head is printed with black sunglasses and a smiling mouth.
In The Adventures of the LEGO Maniac, Indy LeMans's outfit is blue instead of red, and his face is depicted without sunglasses.LEGO Mania Magazine May-June 1996, pages 12-13 Incidentally, this resembles Mandy the Mechanic's appearance on the box art of 6335 Indy Transport, although Mandy herself appears as a separate character in the comic; it also resembles one of the powerboat racers in 6543 Sail N' Fly Marina.
==Background==
Indy LeMans loves wave-jumping with the Water Jet 3, which he considers the best water jet ever made. He enjoys hearing the cheering crowds after finishing a race with the Wave Jump Racers, but he is usually so exhausted after hours of riding, so he just loads his water jet onto his all-terrain vehicle's trailer and immediately heads home.
At the First Annual LEGO Land And Sea Race O Rama, Indy LeMans races against Eddie Octane and Turbo Charger, but Thresher joins the competition and starts cheating his way to victory. Thresher uses his Spy Shark's propellers to shred the tires of Indy's racecar.
==Appearances==
* 6334 Wave Jump Racers
* 6517 Water Jet
==Notes==
* Indy LeMans's name is likely a reference to the Indy 500 and 24 Hours of Le Mans sports car races.
* Indy LeMans is nearly identical to the Red Cruiser, who lacks his helmet and life vest.
* Excluding his life jacket (since no shoulder accessories are included), all of Indy LeMans's minifigure parts are available by default in the LEGO Racers character builder, allowing the player to recreate Indy as a playable racer. Oddly, his torso texture's internal file name is EO_CHST (apparently referring to Eddie Octane), while IN_CHST is instead attributed to Turbo Charger's torso texture.Tutorial: Skin Texturing - Modding Tutorials - Rock Raiders United
