Hot Wheels Legends Tour: Car builders to compete to get their creation turned into scale model
The Hot Wheels Legends Tour is set to return to the UK in 2025, which provides an opportunity for global car builders to achieve recognition and the extraordinary chance to see their custom creations immortalised as a 1:64 scale die-cast model.
This exciting competition welcomes a diverse range of vehicles, from meticulously crafted home-built racers and stunning resto-mods to rugged off-roaders and unique custom trucks.
The judges are seeking entries that not only boast exceptional design but also exude a distinctive attitude. The esteemed panel, comprising Hot Wheels designer Craig Callum, popular YouTuber Mat Armstrong, and acclaimed broadcaster Nicola Hume, will be evaluating builds based on their authenticity, creativity, and what the brand affectionately terms 'garage spirit'.
Aspiring entrants need to submit three photos and a concise description through the UK tour website by the deadline of July 4th. Following this, three outstanding finalists will be selected to display their vehicles at Birmingham's NEC during the Gravity Show, held on August 23rd–24th. It is there that the judges will proudly announce the UK winner.

The triumphant vehicle will then advance to the European final, with the ultimate European champion securing a coveted spot at the Global Grand Finale. From this elite group, one exceptional car will be chosen to join the prestigious Hot Wheels Garage of Legends – an exclusive collection of past winners that have all been transformed into globally distributed die-cast models.
A new addition for 2025 is that the UK winner will also receive an all-expenses-paid trip to El Segundo, California, to attend the final US stop of the tour. The UK has a strong history in this competition after a 1969 Volvo P1800 Gasser made history as the first non-US entry to claim the global title in 2021. More recently, last year's UK winner was 'Mentley', a Mini ingeniously inspired by a Bentley.
