Le Mans Ultimate Version 1.0 patch notes

The Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR LMH and Mercedes AMG LMGT3 are the headline additions to Le Mans Ultimate on the 22nd July 2025 when it exits early access, hitting Version 1.0.

However, there are also changes to the user interface, grouped seasons (with 2025 including new liveries for two classes) and for those who own the 2024 Pack 3 DLC or Season Pass will receive an updated BMW M4 LMGT3 Evo. Further tweaks have been made to the LGMT3 tyre model too.

However, even then, that’s surface level, as the full changelog revealed further changes.

Le Mans Ultimate doesn’t have functioning mid-race safety cars, yet, but sometimes there’s a bug where it can appear, which has now been zapped according to the release notes.

Other highlights include adding community-member names (who responded to early access surveys) in the game credits, a new opening trailer, changes to Spa-Francorchamps’ road surface and kerbing and a spate of car detail changes, down to the shape of the Mustang’s wing mirrors.

The full list is below, and why not check out our written and video reviews of the post-early access version.
