Release

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.
