Legoland has announced plans for a new attraction that will open this summer.

Lego Ferrari Build and Race will let budding young racers build, test and digitally scan their own Lego racing car before putting their creation to the test on a simulated world-famous racetrack.

The interactive attraction, which will also include a Duplo build zone with bigger building bricks for smaller children, will be open to Windsor theme park visitors later this year.

During a visit to Lego Ferrari Build and Race, youngsters will make their way through the garage to the race track carefully building and testing their own Lego Ferrari construction as they go before then racing other cars belonging to other visitors for the fastest lap on a version of Italy's world-famous Pista di Fiorano circuit.

Helen Bull from Legoland Windsor, said: "We’re extremely excited about this unique and full throttle partnership. Welcoming Ferrari to the Legoland Windsor Resort is a big moment for us – I’m looking forward to testing the drive and creativity of all our guests at the new Ferrari Build and Race attraction this summer."

Children under 0.9 metres get free entry to Legoland Windsor.
