Free, Printable Race Car Paper Models

Karen Barnes
I am a car racing fan. I thought race car fans and car model builders may enjoy these free, printable race car paper models. To watch all the power the cars have is amazing. The speeds for car racing are fast. Nascar race cars run about 180 mph. Formula 1 race cars can reach speeds up to 225 mph. When it comes to NHRA speeds, the Funny Cars and Top Fuel can hit speeds over 300 mph. Pro Stock race cars run over 200 mph. Pro Stock Motorcycles average between 189 and 195 mph.

The text of the site is in Japanese. To gain access to the race cars on this site, click on the icon with the white arrow under the race car. This will take you to a new page. After the page has loaded, scroll down until you see the words Windows and Macintosh. You will click on the the icons to the right of those two words for your operating system. The top icon is the instructions for making the race cars. You will need to print it. The other icon with the arrow is for the racing car. Both items are set up using Adobe Acrobat Reader. You will need to have that downloaded on your computer to print the instructions and the paper model race car parts.

There are 24 race cars to make. There are pit row paper models listed below the race cars. There are eight different pit paper models.

By clicking on the paper models link, you will be taken to the paper models page. The F1 (1997-2000) link has the paper race car models. There are 10 different Formula-1 race cars to make. The Upgrade link has two different tire upgrades to make for the cars.

Click on the download link next to the pictures of the race cars. The links for printing the sheets for the Formula-1 race cars open in a new window. When on the page, you will see three links for the cars. The first two are for one version of the race car. The third link is to make a second car from the first two links. Be sure to print at least the first two downloads (they open in a PDF) to make one race car.
