Each vehicle consists of over 28,000 genuine Lego bricks, weighing 280 kilograms total with 65 kilograms from the bricks alone.

The karts use standard go-kart wheels and achieve top speeds of 25 kilometers per hour.

Drivers will operate the minicars 90 minutes before the race begins at 13:30 BST.
