I've found a playable demo game for the Drome Racers, but I'm not sure if it should have its own entry.
It's a Nestlé-sponsored version, with the normal Drome Racers overview map, but there are only two scenery/map locations, and no 1st person garage scenes.
The gameplay is seen top-down, with small toy cars, a bit like the original GTA only on a racing track, instead of the in-car screenshots shown here - but I don't know if the top-down racing were also used in mini-games in the full game, or something separate made for my demo-game?
The CD title is Lego Racers 2002.

It would appear these were standalone games released in cereal packages.

Judging from some videos I saw, it appears each CD has a single level - one city, one jungle - so you need both to install both stages. I would say this deserves a new entry.

Thanks for the links.
I'll make a new entry for it then. I've got both CD:s and played the jungle map, but there was some compatibility issue with the city map installation, so I'll try find some older pc to play it on.
(I also note someone has uploaded the two demo CD:s on Archive.org)
