Lego-Made Mini-Cars to Star in Parade at British Grand Prix | Sports-Games
The 22 go-karts each use more than 28,000 bricks and can reach 25 kph, Lego said.
- On Sunday, Formula One drivers will complete a parade lap at Silverstone in electric go-karts constructed entirely from Lego bricks before the British Grand Prix.
- This event continues a series of collaborations between the Liberty Media-owned sporting organisation and the Danish toymaker, following 2025 events where drivers navigated tracks in life-size electric Lego cars in Miami and Las Vegas.
- A team of 20 designers at a factory in Kladno, Czech Republic, spent 6,400 hours building 22 minicars, each weighing 280kg and containing over 28,300 bricks to reflect 2026 team liveries.
- Following the 'smashing' of cars in Miami, Lego senior designer Jonathan Jurion said designers added roll-hoops and fenders to the go-karts to ensure they are 'as safe as possible.'
- Scheduled for 1 p.m. local time, the parade will feature speeds of up to 25 kph and be broadcast live on the Formula One YouTube channel.
