Le Mans Ultimate is continuing its multiplayer, driver swap-enabled evolution, with a second day-long test event.
Held at a virtual Circuit de la Sarthe, the 24 Hours of Le Mans races will take place between the 27th and 28th February 2026.
It follows the maiden running of the endurance classic within the title in November 2025, which encountered an inability to rejoin a server for some and lag for others.
The development team claims to have made “a number of changes”, which include a 10x increase in team server bandwidth and the ability recreate designated splits should a configuration error occur.
“We hope with the community’s understanding and patience, we can look forward to another exciting weekend of racing,” it said in reference to the running being labelled a test.
The announcement follows another popular four-hour race at Spa, where over 5,100 teams participated last weekend. There will be 4 Hours of Interlagos and 4 Hours of Bahrain (Outer) on the run-up to the 24-hour event.
These tests of longer endurance races are undoubtedly also seemingly precede a return of the Le Mans Virtual Series competition.
