The Lewis Hamilton time trial challenge is a single player game mode allowing you to challenge the best lap times, set by Lewis Hamilton. In addition to the challenges themselves, the package includes replays and video tutorials by Lewis, where you can learn directly from the Maestro himself. Clearing the events will result in various bonuses, such as special cars and an unlock for the in-game credits limit.

Ten Challenges

A total of ten challenges with the Mercedes-AMG GT3 and the Sauber Mercedes C9 await you.

  • Dragon Trail – Seaside
  • Autodromo Lago Maggiore – GP
  • Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit
  • Willow Springs International Raceway: Big Willow
  • Suzuka Circuit
  • Autodromo Nazionale Monza
  • Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit
  • Autódromo de Interlagos
  • Nürburgring GP

In all of these challenges, you can watch replays and activate Lewis’ ghost car. You can also check driving data such as braking points and throttle operations as many times as you like. And even if his ghost car leaves you behind, you can position the Ghost back near the your location at every sector, and even set an offset time (in seconds) with the Ghost to mimic racing against Lewis in person. Some tracks even come with a video tutorial where Lewis provides advice.
