New track layouts, HUD and LMGT3 DLC now available in latest Le Mans Ultimate update

Three new LMGT3 cars and several new game enhancements are now available to download in Le Mans Utlimate.

The sim’s Pack 4 DLC includes the Porsche 911 GT3 R and Aston Martin Vantage AMR LMGT3 cars, and are sold as a pair for £5.99 / €6.99 / $7.49.

However, the Ford Mustang LMGT3 has also been released at the same time and is available to all LMU players, similar to the McLaren 720S LMGT3 released last December. It’s a separate Steam Store download, so add it to your library.

LMU also sees significant game updates arrive today (25th February 2025), with a heavily revised HUD (now showing AI tyre compound and damage stages), AI behaviour improvements and toggleable tyre warmers implemented.

Perhaps the standout feature of this update, however, is the addition of several new track layouts for the game’s roster of existing circuits.

Players can now drive on COTA’s National Layout, Bahrain’s Endurance, Outer and Paddock layouts, Fuji’s No Chicane configuration, the Monza Curva Grande track, Sebring School and Spa-Francorchamps’ 62-car-supporting Endurance layout.

But the biggest new track layout is undoubtedly the inclusion of the Circuit de la Sarthe’s Mulsanne layout, which dispenses with the famous straight’s two chicanes to provide drivers with over four miles of French highway to slipstream on.

The full changelog for LMU’s February 2025 update and the Pack 4 DLC can be found below.
