Challenge Lewis Hamilton's Lap Times!

This single player game mode allows you to challenge the best lap times set by none other than the Gran Turismo Sport Maestro and six-time F1 World Drivers Champion Lewis Hamilton, who personally threw down these lap times in Gran Turismo Sport!

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.

This DLC will be available at the PS Store on November 28.


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
• Nürburgring Nordschleife

Replays and Ghosts of Lewis
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!

Strategy Guide

Some tracks come with a video tutorial where Lewis provides advice. Learn a World Champion's techniques!

Messages
Lewis will comment on your performance with voice messages. Even if you are a beginner, he will give you motivation to keep trying!

Online Rankings
"Friend Rankings" and the Top 10 Stars' rankings will be available for each of the ten challenges. You can compete against Lewis Hamilton, as well as against players from all over the world!

Replay Sharing
Saved replays of your challenges can be shared online. It's also possible to watch replays shared by other users.

Award Credits
Setting lap times with a Bronze or better will award you in-game credits. Clearing all challenges will also score you even more bonus credits!

Unlocking the Credit Limit Cap
Here's some good news for players who are at the in-game credits limit: Achieving a Gold or better in all challenges will upgrade the limit from the original 20 million to 100 million!

Car Rewards
Cars will be awarded as special rewards for each challenge achievement level. Users who succeed in clearing the harder conditions will receive a special prize with a design supervised by Lewis Hamilton's very own "Project 44" team!

They don't make it explicit that this will be the first paid DLC the game has ever had. It looks like it will cost about U$10

This is so awesome. Lew is my favorite driver and this is going to get me to stop waiting for a 'proper GT' and picking this up.

Any differences in the versions out there? Safe to get whichever digital version is available now? I recall reading about some 2.0 reboot coming.

2.0 or Spec II as it's called already launched and it just comes with all the free updates up until May 2019 update packaged together so you need to download only the last few updates and it comes with some car unlocks.

So yeah, even if you get the "old" version of GT Sport you are not missing anything as every car is unlockable in-game.

This being paid DLC is interesting. I don't mind, I'm getting it, but it's odd since it's basically time trial challenges. Lewis gotta get paid and all.

It's actually much more because you can have access to his ghost and telemetry with breaking points etc. ( if what they are saying is true ).

I love this shit. Sounds innovative too, I would've never thought of instructional DLC like this.

Sounds like fantastic DLC. I'm fine if this is paid, it seems there's a lot of high production stuff in it.

Don't care much for Hamilton but I'll give them a tenner for some more guided single player stuff, sure.

The way I see it, if they charge for cars or tracks, it'll split up the player base. This way, they can get some extra income, while they continue to give us free regular car and track updates as they have been doing since release.

Odd that they're charging for this, I'd rather buy new tracks... gimmie.
You want to pay for things they're already giving us for free? Laguna Seca was just announced and coming soon, free. A couple VGT cars, free. A new mazda partnership that's sure to bring more cars, also free.
