The virtual event will include live judging and celebrity guest appearances from Ben Collins (“James Bond” stunt driver also known as “The Stig”), “Top Gear” presenter Paddy McGuinness and “Car Throttle” Host Alex Kersten.

This stop also marks the first time any Legends Tour stop will crown two finalists. The finalists from the stop will join all other Legends Tour finalists for a chance to have their car immortalized as a Hot Wheels die-cast vehicle.
At the end of the tour, all 13 finalists across the world will be judged side-by-side during a virtual global finale in Los Angeles, Calif. The first-place winner will have their vehicle immortalized into a real Hot Wheels toy car that can be seen on store shelves worldwide. This winner will also be inaugurated into the Hot Wheels Garage of Legends, a group of Hot Wheels designs and builds in the brand’s entire history.
