The Genesis GMR-001 LMDh race car has been added to Le Mans Ultimate for free, in a surprise expansion to the simulation’s Version 1.3 update.
2026 will see the Korean luxury brand – an offshoot of Hyundai – take to the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the FIA World Endurance Championship for the first time.
It will enter two of the machines in the premier Hypercar class this season, with the #17 initially represented in the game. The sibmling #19 car and paint scheme will follow “in a future patch” according to publisher Motorsport Games.
This particular entrant will be driven by Luis Felipe ‘Pipo’ Derani, Mathys Jaubert and André Lotterer.
It’s a significant, factory-backed effort, with Anouck Abadie as Team Manager, touring car legend Gabriele Tarquini as Sporting Director and sitting under Cyril Abiteboul as Principal of Hyundai Motorsport.
