Le Mans Ultimate adds 2026-spec cars and free LMP3
Surprise – ahead of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the latest Toyota and BMW hypercars, Adess LMP3, and paint schemes are all free Le Mans Ultimate additions.
A free Le Mans Ultimate update is available today, 4th June 2026, bringing with it 2026-season cars, liveries and track upgrades. There’s also the first LMP3 outside of paid DLC, opening up the multiplayer race offerings.
Publisher Motorsport Games bills this V1.3.3 update as a “smaller than usual patch”, presumably due to a lack of new game features or a long list of changes. However, that’s under-selling it somewhat, as these new content items are notable.
This is arguably the most significant addition in today’s update, as it’s the first free LMP3 car, the only category of machine so far that was entirely behind a paywall.
This now means entry-level daily races will include the LMP3 class, and more people should be able to compete in higher-level multiplayer races with this category, too.
With the first paid-for LMP3 releasing in September last year, and the final addition released in March of this year – when the European Le Mans Series Season Pass was completed – Le Mans Ultimate is the only sim racing title with not only the current-spec LMP3 machines, but all four real-world models to boot.
The Adess has never run in the ELMS, so this is a fictional livery design, although it has been entered into the ELMS-supporting Le Mans Cup competition.
Toyota’s 2026 TR010 and BMW’s M Hybrid V8 ‘Evo’
Two distinctive ‘joker’ cars in the Hypercar class are also free additions – joker referencing the homologation upgrade system.
BMW M Hybrid V8 Evo in Le Mans Ultimate
BMW’s M Hybrid V8 has received an ‘Evo’ update, with a significantly altered aero package, perhaps best spotted with a new front-end design. This makes its sim racing debut through this Le Mans Ultimate update.
So too does the more heavily updated Toyota TR010, which has an entirely new body compared to the existing GR010. Ostensibly, we expect these to drive similarly to existing models in-sim.
What about the Genesis GMR-001 LMDh? Well, sim racing fans, that was already added for free earlier this year…
Two absentees, however, are the tweaked Alpine A424 and the Cadillac V-Series.R, with its low rear wing. These have been confirmed as in development and expected in a version 1.4 game update later this year.
2026-season livery designs
As Le Mans Ultimate is the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship, it provides real-world cars, tracks and paint schemes.
So this update delivers the latter too, with every current-season livery design for the Hypercar and LMGT3 category. As with prior season updates, LMP2 vehicles are expected later, so too are most of the 24 hours of Le Mans-specific special designs.

Although at least one of those has sneaked through already, as the magma orange Genesis design used for the race next week has already been recreated virtually.
Three LMGT3 Evo-spec car upgrades
Another sim racing debut, the Ford Mustang GT3 Evo is now in Le Mans Ultimate, which can be identified by extra diveplanes at the front corners.
The Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo is also now present (small additional bonnet air-ducts), and so too is the 2026 upgrade for the Porsche 911 (992) GT3 R – which you can spot by its front-wing mounted air extractors.
The Ford is base game included content, while the other two LMGT3 upgrades appear for those who already own the relevant base-car DLC packs.

Goodyear Bridge
As teased earlier this week, the Dunlop Bridge at Circuit de la Sarthe will be no more, having been installed first in 1932. For this year’s race, the branding has changed to rival tyre manufacturer Goodyear, which has been reflected in the game alongside other trackside tweaks.
Other changes now live include native Polish language support. News of the title’s “non-European” season pass is due on 4th July, while 24-hour multiplayer events “will arrive sometime after V1.4 is fully released.”
