The Le Mans Ultimate now comes to Version 1.0, and it is releasing on July 22, 2025. With this, it no longer stays in Early Access. This update was bringing a few new free cars: the Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR LMH, the Mercedes-AMG LMGT3 Evo, and the BMW M4 LMGT3 Evo, although this one is not for all players, just those who have Pack 3 or the Season Pass.
Also, now the game includes the full 2025 WEC grid, which now has many new liveries for the Hypercar and GT3 categories. But for LMP2, the liveries for Le Mans still have not been added. They are said to come later on. The LED boards on the vehicles have been improved and now follow what real 2025 cars are using. Besides this, the car setup screen has become simplified. It allows the players to make all changes from just one window, which is more efficient.
Le Mans Ultimate Version 1.0 Update: Handling, Tires, and User Interface Adjustments
The tire physics on LMGT3 cars have been rebalanced. It now has better heat behavior, and also, the grip loss is more gradual. Drivers may feel more connected with the surface, but the change could need adaptation. As was being said on Reddit,
“I’m really excited for this fixes to the tyre model and the setups… they needed a little bit of polish.”
There was a problem before where the safety car appeared randomly, and that bug is now fixed. The UI and HUD also got changes. Class colors fixed, improved driver panels for replays, and that disappearing burger menu got fixed. Notifications are now more readable.
Further, there were crash bugs when users accessed setup screens or enabled tire wear in testing. Such problems have now been resolved. RaceControl functions, including time penalties and qualifying orders, have been made more accurate and are working now.
Track Polishing and Plans for Later
Several tracks received visual correction. Spa-Francorchamps especially has seen terrain fixes, new kerbs, and improved surface around the pit lane. Digital display boards have been added as well. Also, COTA and Monza were adjusted in this. Now they will be having better grip levels and mesh details.
The cars that were previously added as free DLC. The Mustang and McLaren are now included in the base game. Players who miss older packs can now buy the WEC Full Access bundle, which includes discount options.
Developer Studio 397 said that European Le Mans Series content will come later in the autumn. It is also planning career mode and more solo features, expected, probably in early 2026. No console versions have been released as ot now, and of course, no exact date is known as of now.
This Version 1.0 update is offering a better experience to sim racers, including cars, setup refinements, and physics. There is still content yet to come, but it puts the game on a more solid footing for the future.
