Le Mans Ultimate fans, rejoice! The 24 Hours of Le Mans is almost upon us, and we're thrilled to announce some exciting updates and free content ahead of the iconic race. This year's edition brings a fresh and immersive experience, thanks to the tireless efforts of our art and circuit teams.
A Patch with a Twist
This release is a bit different. It's not your typical major update; instead, it's a patch, specifically version 1.3.3, focusing on refining and enhancing the existing experience. We're releasing it today, straight after the initial announcement, to ensure you have the most up-to-date version of our simulation.
2026 Season Update: A Closer Look
The heart of this update lies in the 2026 season, a meticulous undertaking by our teams. The track, trackside elements, liveries, and signage have all been meticulously updated to mirror this year's event. Imagine racing through the night, and the experience feels just like watching the real-life spectacle on television. We've paid special attention to the bridge change, ensuring an authentic representation.
Furthermore, we've seamlessly integrated the 2026 full-season liveries across the WEC grid. Players will now see cars on their screens that match the real-life lineup. A big shout-out to our partners at WEC and the ACO for their invaluable support in making this happen.
While we're still awaiting the special liveries from Le Mans, we're committed to delivering them as soon as possible.
Car Updates: Evos and Jokers
The 2026 season brings a wave of evo packages and joker updates from manufacturers, with the Toyota TR010 taking center stage. We've meticulously incorporated these changes into the game, reflecting aero tweaks and bodywork modifications. The goal is to ensure that the cars on your virtual grid mirror those on the real grid, and this is all delivered for free to existing vehicle owners.
The Cadillac and Alpine updates are more intricate, requiring additional time for finalization. We're working diligently to have these ready for Version 1.4.
ADESS AD25 LMP3: A New Addition
The ADESS AD25 LMP3, a stunning creation from the Portuguese manufacturer, joins the LMP3 class. This car has been meticulously recreated and will be available for all players, soon to be featured in our beginner daily races.
Polish Localisation: A Long-Awaited Request
To celebrate the #83 victory from last year's race, driven by an ex-F1 driver, we're adding Polish language support. This caters to the passionate LMU players in Poland who've been requesting it since the game's launch.
What's Next?
Version 1.4 is on the horizon, targeted for July, and it promises to be a substantial release. We'll share more details as we get closer to the release date.
As part of this update, we'll unveil our next season pass, a highly requested feature. Stay tuned for more information, and keep an eye on our channels for the big reveal.
Additionally, we're working on endurance races, including a 62-car 24-hour race, which will require a technical component. These races will be released after Version 1.4.
