Le Mans Ultimate Version 1.3 Set for Release Amid ELMS Season Excitement
The highly anticipated Version 1.3 of Le Mans Ultimate is set to debut on March 31, 2026, incorporating critical content from the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) season pass. This update will feature the Duqueine D09 – Toyota LMP3 and the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as part of Pack 3, priced at €9.99, £8.99, or US$11.99. Notably, this content is included in the ELMS Season Pass and available for RaceControl Pro+ subscribers at no additional cost.
As part of this update, all 2025 ELMS cars and tracks will be accessible, aligning with the upcoming 2026 ELMS campaign starting next month in Barcelona. Initially, only the 2025 layout of Barcelona will be available, with additional configurations slated for future releases.
Version 1.3 will also enhance gameplay by introducing seven new variations across Silverstone and Circuit Paul Ricard, alongside expanding grid sizes to accommodate 44 cars at Imola, Spa-Francorchamps, and Portimão. Performance improvements include approximately 20% reduced loading times, the integration of Logitech TRUEFORCE, and a streamlined rendering process for off-track vehicles, bolstering overall game efficiency.
Additional technical enhancements encompass new telemetry parameters, updates to the LiveSteward system, and the graduation of 38-car Team endurance races from testing to official status. In the interim, LMU is hosting its Qatar 1812KM event this weekend to engage fans during the FIA WEC’s delayed start.
Looking ahead, the completion of the ELMS Season Pass paves the way for announcements regarding upcoming content at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Development continues on the Career Mode, anticipated for release later this year.
Le Mans Ultimate Version 1.3 promises to enrich the racing simulation experience, positioning it as a crucial aspect of the ELMS landscape in 2026.
