Work continues on the early access Le Mans Ultimate. There won’t be a major update in May, with June as the target.
Following April’s ‘Patch 3’ for Le Mans Ultimate, the next major additions are set for June completion.
Affirmation of the timeline comes from, initially, Motorsport Games’s CEO when he talked to OverTake recently, followed by updates from development team members in the Le Mans Ultimate Discord.
“Regarding [a] roadmap, I think it’s clear we can’t yet commit to certain dates, but we are working on an update for June (I feel that much is out of the bag now) - it won’t have everything you want, but it’ll be a big first step,” posted Ben Rossiter-Turner, VP of Competition at Motorsport Games.
When asked if online driver swaps will arrive then, however, the answer is a bit more complex.
“I will specifically say that isn’t happening for June,” continued Rossiter-Turner.
“It’s very complicated and intertwined with other work so that we have a better solution than rFactor 2.”
Further clarification was provided that while there may not be a ‘major’ update in May is expected, hotfixes may still be issued between now and next month.
2024 FIA World Endurance Series content was confirmed as being in development before the simulation’s February early access launch. It now seems that it has taken a step forward with a new scan of the Imola circuit being concluded.
“There was a 2024 Imola scan done weeks before the race,” confirmed Dan Wrenn, Marketing and Content Producer at Motorsport Games.
Le Mans Ultimate is currently on a tour of European WEC rounds, recently visiting the Imola round between 19th-21st April. Now it transpires the venue was scanned on the run-up to the event.
