Hot Wheels: Ultimate Challenge

Hosted by Rutledge Wood, who also serves as one of the show’s judges, the 10-episode series gives Hot Wheels Superfans the opportunity of a lifetime: turning a nostalgic car from their past into the life-sized Hot Wheels of their dreams. In the season finale, the winning creation will be launched as an official Hot Wheels die-cast car!

A rotating panel of celebrity guest judges join resident experts Hertrech (“Hert”) Eugene Jr., an influencer in car culture and the drift scene, and Dalal Elsheikh, designer for the Ford Motor Company and Hot Wheels Brand Ambassador. Wood, Eugene and Elsheikh, along with the celebrity guests, review the transformations and crown a winner.

High Res were commissioned by Workerbee to deliver a cohesive lighting design that brought the Mattel Hot Wheels concept to life at Space Studios, Manchester. Collaborating with designers JP Connelly and Rudy Thackray, director Chris ‘Stotty’ Stott and DP Josh Williams, the project involved lighting designs for three distinct areas: two functional mechanics workshops and a design hub, all interconnected by a central car reveal zone.
