Studio 397 and Motorsport Games have a free update for Le Mans Ultimate up their sleeves ahead of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Now, they have given more details on what to expect.
From a new hypercar to in-game replay modes and a radar tool - the Le Mans Ultimate update set for June 10 is shaping up to be quite spectacular.
Following the arrival of the 2024 liveries for existing Hypercars, the first of the 2024 paid DLC packs is expected to launch next month. The pack will include Imola (Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari and further content to be announced closer to the pack's release date.
The 2024 content will be split across four individual packs, including the July drop. These will all be bundled together to create the 2024 Season Pass. In total, it will include a further four Hypercars, four new circuits and seven GT3 cars.

Two free GT3 cars will find their way into all early-access players' accounts towards the end of this calendar year as well, completing the GT grid. Once these packs are released, all the current cars across all the classes in the WEC will be present and correct in LMU - although cars like the Peugeot 9X8 would also need an overhaul to reflect the off-season changes to the cars during the off-season.
Used to help improve awareness whilst racing – the radar enables you to see where opponents are when running wheel-to-wheel, helping situational and spatial awareness in the heat of the moment. This tool will be available in both online and offline modes.

The revised race starts will balance the penalty system in a much more accurate way. Communication with players will also be improved in the pre-race phase to make sure everyone knows exactly what the protocol is to try and have a clean race start, especially on formation laps.
A feature that many expected from the start also makes its way into the update: a proper in-game replay mode. Looking back at your race will now be possible with in-game Replays, enabling you to rewind your past online and offline wins and losses. Driver Labels that can be toggled on and off have also been added in conjunction with the in-game replay mode.
Those of you lucky enough to be at Le Mans this year will be able to test and experience these cars for free at the LMU booth from the 11th of June. Multiple special events will also be held throughout the Le Mans event.

Le Mans Ultimate New Content
The major headline of the new update are the arrival of the BMW M Hybrid V8 Hypercar - and the full roster of 2024 Hypercar liveries to accompany it. The lack of these 2024 liveries has been a community bugbear since LMU released and, finally, in the month of Le Mans, they can look forward to the 2024 chariots. The addition of the BMW as free content is a nice touch, too.Following the arrival of the 2024 liveries for existing Hypercars, the first of the 2024 paid DLC packs is expected to launch next month.

In-Game Updates
Alongside the new BMW Hypercar and the 2024 liveries is the much-called-for revision of race starts and the addition of an optional Radar. These updates are quality-of-life changes predominantly, but these two changes will likely make monumental differences to how players, new and experienced, will be able to enjoy LMU going forward.Used to help improve awareness whilst racing – the radar enables you to see where opponents are when running wheel-to-wheel, helping situational and spatial awareness in the heat of the moment.
