Build & Race a Car: Team Building Activity
Race Car Rally is a high-energy, collaborative team building event where creativity meets competition. Teams build and customize their own mini race cars – crafted on official LEGO® car platforms – then take to the track for head-to-head races. This event is ideal for boosting innovation, team spirit, and problem-solving in a fun, pressure-free environment.
Program Agenda
Get your team into gear with this fully immersive team building activity designed to test their engineering skills, creativity, and teamwork. With limited resources and lots of team roles to juggle, Race Car Rally has something for everyone – from decorators and builders to chant leaders and pit crew strategists.
Before car construction begins, teams participate in Brainstorm and/or Minute 2 Win It-style challenges to earn the parts they’ll need for their vehicle builds. Brainstorm incorporates fun photo and video challenges, trivia, and puzzles, providing full-group engagement by having all participants play on their personal devices with no download needed, and the ability to capture and save all your memories of this truly heartwarming event with photos and videos of your teams in action.
Once earned, materials like LEGO® platforms, wheels, windshields, drivers, and more are used to create sleek, race-ready cars. Teams also decorate matching driver jumpsuits and flags, earning extra points for originality and spirit.
After timed practice runs, it’s off to the races! Teams will compete in qualifying heats, then face off in a high-stakes championship round to determine the Race Car Rally Champions.

When ScanSource asked us if we could design a Race Car program for them, we said, “Sure, we can design and deliver just about anything.” Then they told us there would be one 1,000 participants. “No problem!” we replied. Then they told us they wanted their employees to build their own cars…out of Legos! Wow, that’s a lot of Lego pieces we thought. And it was! We first had figured out all the essential parts we needed to buy for each car, like heavy metal Lego car chassis for speed, wheels, drivers, and windshields. Then we order a ton of random Lego pieces for building custom car bodies. But the biggest job came after all the shipments arrived at our production center. We had to make up random kits for each car and put them on a scale so each car kit weighed the same. Our production staff built one of the four-lane, 30-foot tracks complete with a starting gate and automatic electronic scoring board at the end. Then they each assembled a car and the races were on! They had a great time and so will your group – thanks to a request from ScanSource.
