Fancy spending a race weekend with Lewis Hamilton?

Lewis Hamilton is giving fans a chance to spend an entire race weekend with him at a race of their choice.

There's a catch however, as the once-in-a-lifetime experience comes at a hefty price, thanks to the Leonardo di Caprio Foundation.

The 2017 LDF Gala Auction has set aside a series of outstanding prizes and experiences donated by a multitude of celebrities, artists and companies committed to the foundation's environmental projects.

The foundation was initiated in 2008 by Hollywood actor Leonardo di Caprio and has supported over 200 environmental projects across all five oceans and in over 50 countries since its inception.

The Gala Auction is a fundraising opportunity critical to the continued success of LDF's environmental work.

The winner of Lewis Hamilton's prize will spend a race weekend, with a guest, in the pits at a Grand Prix of the winner’s choosing with the thee-time world champion.

In addition, the winning bidder will experience a ride in the Formula 1 Two Seater run by "F1 Experience."

In case you're interested, the current bid, which you can view and follow on LDF's website, has already run up to $71,000! 

The auction will close on August 23, so there's still time to spend your life's savings, and then some, on a weekend with Lewis.

Mind you, it's all for a good cause...
