In the DLC, you’ll be driving the Mercedes-AMG-GT3 and the Sauber Mercedes C9. You’ll be able to replay each challenge as many times as you like and check out Lewis Hamilton’s ghost car to see what lines the F1 champ takes.

Take on Lewis Hamilton’s times and those of other players around the world to earn Credits, with you being able to increase the 20 million Credit cap to 100 million Credits. You’ll also be rewarded with new cars for completing the challenges, including one designed by Hamilton’s own Project 44 team.
