Industry-leading Physics Model

Le Mans Ultimate uses the industry leading physics and handling simulation DNA from pMotor 2.5 as used and further improved from rFactor2 - enabling the game to take on more advanced simulation techniques, such as hybrid units, whilst also become more accessible and user friendly to the community - removing barriers to entry while also maintaining the key core elements of sim racing.

Tyre dynamics are first-in-class, utilising an advanced “brush” model that accurately portrays slip angles and models advanced features such as vehicle “flat spots” that you can feel.

For wheel users, the 400Hz physics engine is directly translated into force feedback, delivering a highly detailed and predictable feeling to your steering wheel with presets available directly collaborated on with a number of prominent equipment manufacturers.

The game also features improved in-game controller support as well as a selectable and customisable difficulty level, to allow the player to determine their skill level, with help for first timers, allowing adjustable assists.

Dynamic Racing Experience

Realistic day and night cycles are a key element of this simulation, with incredible lighting effects as you race into dusk, through night, and again into dawn down the Mulsanne at over 200mph.

Le Mans Ultimate uses an advancement in Real Road 2.0 track evolution simulation found uniquely in Studio 397 titles. Like a real race session, the track will begin as a green, relatively gripless circuit at the start of a weekend and rubber in as more cars pass over the racing line - with cars moving the dust, dirt, and marbles off-line.

Work has been undertaken in several areas, including the dynamic weather effects, such as rainfall and debris on windscreens, and a more realistic flow of water and formation of puddles on the circuit.

The cars will also change throughout the race, and the build-up of dirt and debris will cover the car, giving it the authentic, weathered, endurance look.

Multiplayer - Compete In Skill-based Events Or Manage Your Server

For those looking for the edge-of-the-seat, wheel-to-wheel competition against real-life drivers, the Online function, powered by RaceControl, will be home to that pulsating challenge. Racers can take part in ranked Daily, Weekly, and Special Events that provide the opportunity to build the player’s Driver and Safety rankings.

As the player unlocks higher-ranked races and exclusive events when the game develops and grows alongside the real-life FIA World Endurance Championship. Also available is player-controlled server hosting, so users and leagues can configure their own experience when they want it.

Ultimate Race Weekend

Single Player fans can enjoy the Race Weekend feature, which provides the perfect proving ground for racing against formidable AI opponents with customisable difficulty.

In this game mode, a user can define their race experience - adjusting the time of day, session duration, and weather conditions to their liking. From there, you can refine your car set-up and race wheel-to-wheel, taking part in Practice, Qualifying, and the main Race.

Players can also save their Race Weekend at pit stops, allowing them to complete their endurance races when it is convenient to them.

Play Together: Around Your Schedule [co-op Mode]

An innovative cooperative mode has been added to the game, allowing you to race with your friends against the AI opponents at a time convenient to you.

This “play by mail” style game mode, powered by RaceControl, allows you to invite your friends to complete a race, at a difficulty level of each user’s choosing, whilst also racing for supremacy on the leaderboards as each action on track awards you points.
