LEGO 2K Drive Ideas contest winners revealed
The LEGO Ideas team has revealed the winners of its LEGO 2K Drive contest, who will each race away with a bumper package of LEGO goodies.
Held to promote the launch of 2K Games’ racing title, the LEGO Ideas contest called on the community to build street cars using 300 bricks or fewer. ‘Wacky’, ‘cool’ and ‘ridiculous’ were all words that made up the brief, and with three different ways to design a model – in bricks, in Studio or in LEGO 2K Drive – builders responded in their droves, submitting 435 entries in total.
The LEGO Ideas team then whittled those down to a select few finalists for the fan vote, and put the ultimate verdict in the hands of the LEGO Ideas community. The results of that poll are now in, and the crowdsourcing platform has announced the grand prize winner and runner-up – both of whom will take home tantalising prize packages consisting of some of the best LEGO cars available right now.
First place has gone to redera00’s The Racing Hornet, which takes playful inspiration from the black and yellow insect for its six-wheeled car. Its twin-bubble cockpit is paired with a six-wheel drivetrain, V8 engine and hydrogen tanks for a futuristic racer built using just 290 pieces.
94ohana’s inventive Puzzle Car has scooped second place on the podium, meanwhile, connecting four different cars for big team driving vibes. Both the concept and execution are one-of-a-kind – and definitely fit that ‘wacky’ brief – so it’s no surprise to see it go down so well with LEGO Ideas members.
The grand prize for this contest includes a copy of LEGO 2K Drive, a LEGO 2K Drive goodie bag, 42141 McLaren Formula 1 Race Car, 42111 Dom’s Dodge Charger, 76918 McLaren Solus GT & McLaren F1 LM, 76917 2 Fast 2 Furious Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) and 76912 Fast & Furious 1970 Dodge Charger R/T. 94ohana will receive the same package minus the Technic sets.
Two more LEGO Ideas contests are currently underway, including one focused on space exploration that’s due to close for entries in just a few days. The other draws on Japanese culture, inspired by the recent release of 10315 Tranquil Garden.

- I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
