Bsimracing Sim Racing Resources and News for the racing enthousiast.
Ahead of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Motorsport Games and Studio 397 have released the free V1.3.3 (Update 3, Patch 3) Update for Le Mans Ultimate, the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship.
Note: at the time of writing, a small Hotfix BuildID: 23564017 has been added, fixing an occasional issue where the UI remained active after clicking “Start Driving”.
The V1.3.3 update brings us the 2026 season update, including an updated version of the Circuit de la Sarthe overhaul (Le Mans 24 circuit) that reflects this year’s edition.
On the car front, the update adds the BMW M Hybrid Joker, Toyota TR010, Porsche GT3 Evo, Ford Mustang GT3 Evo, and the Ferrari GT3 Evo. There is also a new LMP3 available in the form of the Adess AD25 LMP3, which will be joining the already available Ligier JS P325, Duqueine D09, and Ginetta G61-LT-P3.
Furthermore, Motorsport Games already added the full lineup of 2026 WEC season liveries and promised to deliver several “special 24H” liveries as soon as possible.
A bigger V1.4 update is scheduled for July. As part of that upcoming update, Motorsport Games will release the next season pass. I will keep you posted when more details are confirmed.
Le Mans Ultimate is currently available on Steam for €39,99. The Le Mans Ultimate WEC Full Access Bundle is available for €84,94.
