Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Motorsport Games and Studio 397 have published a new community update outlining their next two release timelines for the early access version of Le Mans Ultimate, the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship and 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Quote:
Update 4 (Expected late February)
On the content side, the update will be bringing 3 new LMGT3 cars (1 will be a free Early Access DLC item).
Unfortunately, Lusail International Circuit (Qatar) is not going to be ready for this release as we strive for the greatest accuracy and have been waiting for the latest laser scan (from July 2024). Therefore 2024 Pack 4 will consist of 2 cars and a new 2024 Pack 5 will be created for the remaining 2 cars and circuit. If you’re a Season Pass holder, this will be added automatically to your account.
For major features, we previously said we would be trying to bring Teams and Driver Swaps to this release but unfortunately, this needs more time and will move to Update 5. We will be bringing some new layouts to existing circuits in the game, free to all owners of those tracks, to add more variety to both your online and offline experiences.
Stay tuned to see exactly what is coming (along with various other quality-of-life improvements) when we make a larger announcement about this update.
Update 5 (Expected early May)
As mentioned above – this release will include Driver Swaps and Teams as headline features as well as Custom Liveries for RaceControl Pro and Pro+ members. Teams and Driver Swaps, manageable directly inside the game, will be available to all users in Hosted and Special Events, plus a new Team Online Championship mode will be added for RaceControl Pro and Pro+ subscribers.
Custom Liveries will allow users to upload their Team identity (usable in single driver events as well) directly to RaceControl and automatically download liveries as you join races – exciting stuff!
The release of the new “Pack 5” will come at this point, including the previously mentioned two LMGT3 cars and Qatar.
As always, you can expect more quality-of-life improvements when the full announcement is made for this release.
Releases after Update 5
These are still to be determined from both a feature and content perspective, but rest assured there’s a lot more to come for Le Mans Ultimate.
