Le Mans Ultimate 1.0 Launches July 22 – Featuring Mercedes AMG LMGT3 Evo and Aston Martin Valkyrie
After five major updates, and incredible support from the game’s community, Le Mans Ultimate is about to start the most important event yet – leaving Early Access.
We’re proud to announce that Le Mans Ultimate will launch its Version 1.0 release on July 22, 2025.
This update marks the official beginning of the next chapter for the game, bringing polish to the current version of the game, and with two spectacular new cars joining the grid.
New Arrivals: Aston Martin Valkyrie and Mercedes AMG LMGT3 Evo
As part of the 1.0 release, all players will get access to these two stunning additions to the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship grid, completely free as part of the base game:
Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR Pro
The Valkyrie is unlike anything else. Powered by a 6.5-litre naturally aspirated V12 and designed by legendary aerodynamicist Adrian Newey, this car redefines the Hypercar category. You’ll hear it before you see it, and you’ll never forget it.
Mercedes AMG LMGT3 Evo
The return of the three-pointed star to Le Mans competition is finally here. Last seen in action at the Circuit de la Sarthe in 1999, Mercedes is back with a beastly new LMGT3 entry. With its commanding presence and precision handling, the AMG Evo is set to become a fan-favourite on the grid.
And here’s the important bit – both cars will be available to all players at no additional cost in the July 22 update.
New 2025 Liveries
Alongside the car content, the 1.0 launch will also include a full rollout of official 2025 FIA WEC liveries—giving you the most up-to-date visual grid in sim racing. Whether you’re hotlapping alone or in the midst of a multiclass showdown online, your car will look as fresh as the real-world paddock.
Looking Ahead: Career Mode in Development and planned for Early 2026
Alongside the 1.0 launch, we’re also working on something big for single-player fans – Career Mode, currently in early development and targeting a Q1 2026 release.
You’ll take on the role of an endurance driver, sign with real-world teams, manage your reputation, and influence your future with every result. From team principal feedback to contract offers and media narratives, early UI previews hint at a deep, dynamic system where performance and decisions matter.
More on this exciting feature, and others yet to be announced, will be revealed in the months ahead – but for now, just know that development for the title is very much still at full speed despite leaving Early Access.
A New Era for Le Mans Ultimate
The 1.0 release is not the end – it’s the beginning of a new stint. We’ll be refining the June release with fixes for issues and UI improvements + maybe sneak in some other things as normal!
After that, besides the aforementioned Career Mode, we still have more to be announced. We’re only just starting and we hope you are as excited about the prospect as we are.
