Le Mans Ultimate survey hints at classic content, requests new feature feedback

The best feedback will have the responder’s name immortalised in the game’s credits and all entrants are part of a DLC prize draw.

Developers of Le Mans Ultimate, Studio 397, are looking for sim racer feedback, from those who already own the title and even those who do not.

The official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship, and the 24 Hours of Le Mans event, is presently in an early access phase – with social media and forum feedback collated and hopefully implemented into future game updates.

It has been started on numerous occasions that pivotal features such as virtual reality support, single-player championship (or career) structures and a distinctive cooperative mode are in development.

Other features currently absent include the ability to host private races or leagues, driver swap online and real-world WEC qualifying formats – all of which are key for an official endurance racing platform.

Now, a fan survey is live, to gather further feedback that could shape its future. The questions also hint at possible future content.

Namely, there is a whole stream of possible classic car DLC options, which users are asked to tier in terms of interest. It runs right from 1920s cars, all the way through to present-day categories such as IMSA, European Le Mans and Asian Le Mans Series.

Not forgetting the likes of Group C and GT1, naturally. It was recently announced that 13% of owners have already purchased at least one form of DLC for the game.

In terms of quality-of-life, the creators would like to know the pain points during your experience, and then also, which potential new features take precedence.

The aforementioned missing items are all listed, alongside the likes of full-course yellow functionality, custom livery designs, scenario mode and improved weather systems.

Feedback on the often-mooted optional subscription services is also requested. Possibly providing some insight into what they could entail, the features raised in this category are private servers, unique content, subscription-only online events, discounts, early access to content, the ability to protest, enhanced stats, customisation items, pro-set-ups and webinars.

“The development team are keen to further understand the current playing trends, the focus list for remaining issues, as well as what people would like to see in the longer term future,” said Motorsport Games CEO Stephen Hood.

“We have come a long way in six months, and we have more to achieve, but by launching this survey, we want to allow people to be heard further and collect as much feedback as possible from our player base.”

The survey runs from today, 15th August, until 29th August. Everyone who enters is entered into a prize draw, with six 2024 season pass DLC codes up for grabs.

The best feedback, at the developer’s discretion, will see their names added to Le Mans Ultimate’s credits in a later update.
