Driver Test Races were events that were held semi-officially to rate potential drivers for [[Formula Lego]]. For the first several seasons, each team held them independently, but, starting with the selection process for [[Formula Lego: Season 03|Season 3]], all the teams together held a single event, with a few exceptions. While technically a set of four races, the final results also had qualifying results, and tire degradation factored in.

= Season 1 =
The selection process for [[Formula Lego: Season 01|Season 1]] drivers mainly consisted of Driver Test Races, apart from a few drivers who negotiated contracts by themselves with [[Osborne GC FL|Osborne]]. Each of the three teams held their own independent events to find racers. Several potential drivers competed in several different selection races (most notably [[Nocah Tsunoda]], who came first in both Osborne's and [[National FL|National]]'s races).

== Season 3 ==
For the first time, in Season 3, all three teams held one unified Driver test race, with all drivers driving a generic, Standard-Issue [[EotLP Jr. Karting Series]] kart. With a few, monetary exceptions, it was agreed that none of the teams could hire more than one driver who scored in the Top Three finishers.
