To show gamers that even the greatest race car drivers have humble beginnings, we rebuilt Mario Andretti’s first car and dropped it into GT6. We also made an online documentary that dove deeper into his “First Love”.

We created a multiplatform campaign featuring an online documentary that shows how Mario Andretti launched his legendary racing career by building his first race car, a 1948 Hudson, with his friends.
To expand on the social campaign, we rebuilt the same model car in a five-day live stream on the PlayStation website, where fans from all over the world could chime in with suggestions on how to make the custom build just like Mario's original car. The site hosts multiple full-screen films with extra content options, a time-lapse overview of the build, and interactive social panels where viewers can contribute, join discussions and chat with the Gran Turismo team.
