Wow, I forgot how much I loved this game as a kid. If you're getting the fatal error message on startup, just go to PropertiesCompatibility and run in compatibility mode under Windows XP (Service Pack 2). Hope this helps!

For anyone running into "unable to initialize display - out of video memory", add the following after the Target when editing the shortcut:
" -novideo -horzres 1024 -vertres 768"

It worked for me! I had to use a file archiver to properly unpack the zip file (I used 7zip). Which then left me two items (one being a "LegoRacers" folder, and the other being a "LegoRacers" ISO file. I mouted the ISO file in Daemon Tools Lite. Then I found the specific "Setup" Application file in the "Lego Racers" folder (NOT the "setup" BMP file or the "SETUP" Configuration settings file). I ran the Lego Racers Installation setup. I then right-clicked the "LEGO Racers" Desktop shortcut (the icon is a little lego wheel!) and selected "troubleshoot compatibility". I then selected "troubleshoot program", then selected "The program worked in earlier versions of Windows, but won't install or run now", Then I choose "Windows XP (Service Pack 3)". I then completed the troubleshooter, and now able to start up the game using the Desktop shorcut, without having to always select Run as Administrator :) Also, don't forget to leave Daemon Tools Lite running, with the Lego Racers ISO file mounted (to simulate the CD-ROM).

Hello, Voxnar. The answer to your question is: Yes. I'm pretty sure it plays for 2-player. 2-player mode feels pretty good to play too. Sincerely, Chris.
If you are having trouble installing LEGO Racers, Please use the Alternate LEGO Racers Setup here: If you continue to have issues, then most likely the CD is corrupt or it's your PC's fault.

JACK THE GAMER28 Sep. 2019
This game is pretty good. Even if you are not playing it for nostalgia, it is still a pretty fun time. The AI is surprisingly hard for the age range this game suggests, so if you are like me and are a young gamer who likes old games, the game is going to get pretty hard for you.

Valencia Game Den09 Feb. 2019
For those still having problems, exit steam or any other game launcher that has an overlay. If your graphics card program has an overlay, disable that as well. Those can have compatibility problems with older games. If that still doesn't work, go to 'gamecopyworld' and search 'lego racers'. Use one of the No CD/exe fixes. The site is safe, even if it looks a bit funny and has some annoying ads. Just be sure to use an adblocker before going there and should be a nicer experience. Good luck. Be sure to try to give as much info as possible of why it isn't running, i.e. just doesn't launch, error messages, what OS you are using, etc.

How I got running on Windows 10 64bit: 1) Mount ISO using an app like Daemon Tools or Burn to CD. 2) Right click "Setup.exe" on the CD, select properties and go to the 'Compatibility' tab. 3) Check Compatibility mode for "Windows XP (Service Pack 2)". 4) Check "Run this program as an administrator" and click "Apply" or "OK" to set. 5) Run "Setup.exe" and install to a folder outside of Program Files. Install to an alternative directory such as "C:\Games\LEGO Racers\". No need for the extra installs it suggests (don't think they run anyway). 6) Right click the shortcut or exe file for "LEGO Racers" and select the same Compatibility Settings as above. 7) Run "LEGO Racers" and enjoy gaming goodness!

Deathrain25 Sep. 2018
LEGO Racers seems to be the most robust of the old LEGO games, compatability modes and your good to go (and tbh I don't even know wether that is needed, just did it out of habit). The game itself is one of the best, only held back by the lack of proper multiplayer (a cart-racer with only two players? Pass!). Driving physics are decent, if not as well articulated as other contemporary cart-racers. The single player cup experience is great with a nice difficulty curve. The game is relatively easy, but beating the final boss is still very statisfying. The power-ups are fun, but the speed-boosts are way too powerful for the others to matter most of the time.
Where the game really shines are the time trials, which can offer a real challenge on some tracks! If you haven't played them as child, you should try these out! Definitly worth revisiting.
