The "FIA GT Championships" 2019 Series World Finals kicked off yesterday in Monaco, with Lewis Hamilton in attendance at the popular sim racing event.

The six-time F1 world champion is notoriously reluctant to spend time in his Mercedes team's simulator at Brackley.

But on Friday, Hamilton-the-amateur gladly participated in a Pro-Am exhibition race around Spa-Francorchamps in which he was paired with reigning Gran Turismo Nations Cup champion Igor Fraga.

Hamilton and Fraga finished a deserving third in a race won by Motorsport F1 reporter Jon Noble and Florent Pagandet.

In Monaco, Gran Turismo also unveiled a single gale mode that allows players to challenge a series of best times personally set by Hamilton at ten different tracks!

Fancy taking a shot at the Maestro? The Lewis Hamilton Time Trial Challenge will be available from November 28.
