Perhaps most innovatively, the game is planned to include a collaborative asynchronous race mode, whereby a team of players can undertake their stints at a time and date that suits them, with each member fitting in their time in the car around other commitments or time zone restraints. Features will include both competitive and more casual races, as well as the ability to host a private session. The online gameplay will be powered by RaceControl, a new development from Motorsport Games that powers an interactive multiplayer experience. Included for the first time will be Hypercars from Ferrari, Peugeot, Porsche and Toyota, which – together with models of all the cars of the 2023 full-season WEC entrants – will be competing on iconic tracks such as Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, Fuji and Circuit de la Sarthe.Īs well as high-fidelity models of cars and circuits, class leading physics and performance from the physics engine behind rFactor 2 will be brought into the new game, as well as further innovative gaming and competition features associated with endurance racing. The PC-based game will feature official cars and circuits from the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship season, which of course has the 24 Hours of Le Mans as its headline event. Studio 397, the developers behind the rFactor 2 platform, have a pedigree for gaming and sports car racing – with their name reflecting the remarkable feat by Audi Sport in 2010, where its R15 prototype lapped the Circuit de la Sarthe 397 times before taking victory. In recognition of the FIA World Endurance Championship – the ultimate endurance racing challenge, cars representing the ultimate in technology, durability and performance, and taking place at the ultimate motorsport venue, there can only be one name for the official game for the 24 Hours of Le Mans and FIA WEC: Le Mans Ultimate.Įxpected in December 2023, this special centenary year for the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, owner and founder of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the game has been developed by Studio 397 and will capture all the emotion, speed and glory of the world’s most famous and prestigious endurance motorsport event.
