“I am mega excited to be to be a part of the Development Team at Slightly Mad Studios for Project CARS 2,??? Hamilton commented.
???When I first joined SMS back in 2012, it was an absolute dream come true to work on Project CARS 1, which was a great success and an amazing experience for me. To be a part another fantastic project yet again is just something I always dreamed of and I hope we, as a team, can deliver another fantastic product.???
Despite being born with??Cerebral Palsy, Hamilton has made an impressive career in racing, moving up through the ranks of the British Renault Clio Cup Series as well as the European Touring Car Cup to become the first ever disabled driver to compete in the world-famous British Touring Car Championship this year!

Members can??choose from one of five??membership tiers, starting at 50 British pounds, each tier comes with a set of benefits, the highest tier even includes a Michelin star dinner with Ian Bell and some real-life driving fun in a Ferrari F458 Spider!
