The first Le Mans Ultimate DLC pack has been announced, including two new Hypercars. Here is everything you need to know about the 'Tifosi Italia' DLC pack.

The first DLC pack has been anticipated for Le Mans Ultimate for months now. Just after the 6 Hours of Sao Paulo, the announcement is finally here and a wealth of content is coming to the official game of the World Endurance Championship. The Tifosi Italia DLC pack will form one-quarter of the 2024 DLC Season Pass.


New Hypercars​

The Lamborghini SC63 and the modified and improved 2024 Peugeot 9X8 are making their virtual debuts in Le Mans Ultimate after more or less successful starts to both campaigns for their respective teams. While the Lamborghini made its debut at the Qatar season opener, the 2024 9X8 fittingly raced first at Imola this season.

The new 9X8 will have the new rear wing that the squad debuted on their cars at round two in Imola, as well as the updated liveries to match it. The French outfit's vehicle will be offered alongside the wingless 2023 variant.

Lamborgihini's Hypercar, the SC63, will feature alongside its French counterpart with its ear-splittingly loud 3.8-litre turbo V8 engine to match. This raging bull will likely charge into Le Mans Ultimate to a warm reception with the Lamborghini being such a crowd favourite at all of the events so far in 2024.

The inclusion we all knew was coming, but still a much-welcomed addition to the ranks of Le Mans Ultimate. Imola provided some of the best racing we have seen this year in the WEC, and it is also a familiar circuit to a lot of sim racers new and old.

Over 70,000 endurance racing fans flocked to the Italian venue in 2024 over the three days when WEC visited in April. The iconic and history-soaked Italian motor racing venue n northern Italy will
become a permanent feature on the WEC calendar for the next four years.

The Italian-inspired pack will be available to purchase via Steam for £9.99 / €11.99 / $12.99 on the 23rd of July. This will also be available with the 2024 Season Pass for Le Mans Ultimate, granting players access to this DLC and more in the future.

2024 Season Pass​

The 2024 DLC Season Pass is the ticket to all of the current season's content and will enable players to download the latest cars and tracks the minute they are ready to be bought. It is priced at £39.99 / €46.99 / $49.99.

The 2024 Season Pass will combine all the packs together, which will include four new Hypercars, four iconic circuits and seven brand-new LMGT3 cars. All players will be able to wishlist the 2024 Season Pass and first DLC pack on Steam ahead of it going on sale later this month, July 23rd.

Meanwhile, more free content (like the BMW M Hybrid V8 ahead of Le Mans) is on its way as well. “Development is well underway on the rest of the 2024 Season Pass Content as well as new gameplay features and quality of life updates which we hope to bring to the market in late September – just as the 2024 FIA WEC season reaches its exciting crescendo", stated Motorsport Games CEO Stephen Hood.

TBH, the price compare to all other sims for season pass is reasonable, but it's a very hard year for LMU that too much contents IRL had been changed and too many things need to catch, for sure, not for Free.
compare to other sims:
AC is out of service so the ultimate pack is nearly free, so no need to compare
ACC recent season DLC GTWC 2023, 12.99 USD for 3 new cars and 1 new track, it's a little cheaper compare to this Italy pack which has 1 car less, but for season pass it's similar. BUT don't forget regional price for kunos games, which 45% off in some regions.... what a bargain. also 6 GT2 plus RBR for 17.99 USD is even cheaper (I think it's better to use GTWC season DLC to compare_)
iRacing , 11.99 for car and 14.99 for track, and sub, but no doubt it has the best multiplayer eco system for now.
Raceroom, BMW pack 3 cars for 11.99, track is about 7 so a little more expensive, but premium pack exists....
AMS2, 20-21 season pass for 99.99 but with many DLCs, for a detailed scenario, endu pack pt1 7 cars for 9.99.... really good price.
Rennsport... oh just let me skip those shinny newly flashing skins.... founder pack is more a donation for me, common price still in doubt

And don't forget, when ACC released, the first season update (2019) was free. They only charged for the season DLCs after the full release and the 2019 update.
 
The season pass seems to me like a very reasonable offer price wise for those interested.
LMU content so far is on par with all the best out there, the 2024 season content is a real treat.
LMU is really addictive when concentrating on all the greatness it has to offer, yes, some of endurance specific feature are missing, but there is a lot of WEC action to be had.
I have never been, and still am not, a RF2 enthusiast, but, even though, their are close cousin, LMU is quite endearing, even in this still early phase of its career.

ah, yep, 6 cars with 1 Zandvoort (although it's never updated until now and it's AC's non laser scanned one from modders and updated for ACC), it's great, which LMU only give half amount (1 hypercar 2 gt3s) for EA. anyway, it's more kind as kunos did provide more, so I still consider LMU's pricing strategy between ACC and other sims which need to buy contents piece by piece. And, it's reasonable to me as I listed.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the pricing of both season pass and the first DLC. It’s pretty much similar to the prices for ACC or AMS2 DLCs.

Don't you think that the amount of content produced for the 2024 season update for the WEC isn't a bit more than the stuff that changed between the 2018 and 2019 Blancpain GT series? I mean we get four new FIA grade A tracks that are propably a bit more expensive to lisence than Zandvoort, five new Hypercars and 9 new GT3 cars. Three of those cars will be free and the amount of new skins that need to be produced isn't exactly small either. If I am not completely off the mark there are like 100 new liveries. Granted ACC shipped with three more tracks for the 2018 season, but it had allmost no additional cars for the 2019 season besides a few cosmetical changes for the Evo versions, so all in all the price for the amount of content that you get is very similar. I mean, I am counting more new cars in this 2024 DLC than were shipped with ACC in the base game. Apples and oranges ... ;)

@wowbagger How do you get 1,97 as a result when it's explained that the season pass will be 25 % cheaper compared to buying everything individually?

I guess he did the same thing I did initially, 4 x 12.99 - 49.9 , and then I thought "wait a minute, how is that 25% cheaper".
But then that's assuming that every individual DLC would be 12.99, which I guess now is a wrong assumption.

You should count again then. ACC shipped with 10 tracks and 18 cars if you count the Lamborghini Super Trofeo, the Porsche GT3 Cup and the 2015 & 2018 variants of the Bentley and Nissan. The 2019 season update added 3 new cars and 3 EVO versions of existing ones.
