Paris, Woking,

Billund, October 18, 2021: The LEGO® Technic™ McLaren Senna GTR has accelerated its way to a new race track – this time the asphalt of Asphalt 9: Legends, the latest game in the Asphalt racing series, a franchise that recently broke the 1 billion downloads. From October 18 to 30, racing fans can compete for pole position and win prizes in the LEGO® Technic™ McLaren Senna GTR by taking part in the LEGO Technic McLaren Grand Prix event.

For the first time ever, supercar enthusiasts, motorsports fans and LEGO builders can get behind the wheel of the LEGO Technic McLaren Senna GTR model in this action-packed collaboration between the LEGO Group, luxury supercar maker McLaren Automotive and Gameloft for brands.

Those who get through two adrenaline-fueled qualifying rounds will win a place in the hotly contested final rounds from October 22 to October 31 and have a chance to win LEGO Technic McLaren Senna GTR sets and in-game rewards. Only nine legends selected from winner pools will be crowned champions. The Grand Prix is ​​playable on mobile, Nintendo Switch and PC.

The gamified LEGO Technic McLaren Senna GTR is packed with the same features and functions as its real-world counterpart, making it one of the most extreme contenders on the grid. The LEGO model's 830-piece design has been recreated in meticulous detail in the digital world, including the V8 engine, moving pistons, beautiful aerodynamic curves, opening dihedral doors and a unique blue paint scheme. More than 160,000 digital triangles were used to make no compromises when it comes to replicating the supercar's unparalleled style.

“We are always looking to offer our fans new ways to enjoy the LEGO Technic play experience,” said Niels Henrik Horsted, Head of LEGO Technic Products at the LEGO Group. “This collaboration gives our fans the opportunity to get behind the wheel of this unique model and try it out. When we designed the LEGO Technic McLaren Senna GTR, we pushed ourselves to do justice to McLaren Automotive's engineering excellence, and we're thrilled to be able to replicate it virtually in such a striking way with Gameloft. We can't wait to see our fans on the track!”

“Through this partnership between McLaren Automotive, the LEGO Group and Gameloft, we are thrilled that supercar, racing and McLaren fans can now experience and share the thrill of driving our McLaren Senna GTR ultimate racer in its LEGO® Technic™ into an incredible gaming experience – and with the chance to win fantastic prizes!” Gareth Dunsmore, Chief Marketing Officer, McLaren Automotive.
