Release

LEGO Racers was announced / released and yadda yadday. Promotion and launch events?

LEGO Media announced on August 19, 1999 that the Windows version of LEGO Racers was being shipped to retailers and would be available in stores during the week of August 23 at a price of US$39.95.[1][2]

Reception

The legacy of LEGO Racers was vast and spawned several sequels and follow-up LEGO Racing games. A lot of these went unreleased. See LEGO racing games. The sequels include a Game Boy Color port by Climax, a LEGO Racers arcade game in Legoland, LEGO Racers 2, and Drome Racers, all by Attention to Detail. There was also the unrelated LEGO Stunt Rally, the forgotten mobile game in 2006 or 2007, and LEGO 2K Drive in 2023. There were also several cancelled racers games, including Drome Racers 2, LEGO Racers CC, and LEGO Racers: The Video Game.
