Eligibility for participation in the sweepstakes is limited to residents of the 50 United States, the District of Columbia, the United Kingdom, and Canada (excluding Quebec). The funds collected from entry purchases will be directed towards benefiting the FootPrint Coalition, an organization founded by Robert Downey Jr. with a vision to expedite the development and adoption of cutting-edge technologies that pave the way for a sustainable and abundant future.

In an interview with MotorTrend, Downey expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “If given the opportunity for future seasons, I would be inclined to continue. However, if the purpose of all this is to draw attention to these remarkable cars and, in a sweepstakes context, enable me to fulfill the intentions outlined in the mission statement of this coalition, then it is a noble cause.” He further added, “Sometimes, the intricacies of our thoughts remain elusive to us all. It’s as if the essence of my purpose is sketched on the back of a napkin in my mind. If I can establish that connection, then I understand the ‘why.’ When you have a clear purpose, you can overcome any obstacle. So, what tone should it adopt? What level of exposure should I be willing to offer if this cause is meant to be deeply personal to me?”

The first two episodes of Downey’s Dream Cars are now available for streaming on Discovery+ and Max, providing viewers with an exclusive glimpse into Downey’s captivating journey of automobile transformation.
