Le Mans Ultimate System Requirements and Recommended Specs
Le Mans Ultimate, the latest racing simulator from Studio 397 (the developers and producers of rFactor), was released in early access in February 2024. It has quickly established itself as a benchmark title for motorsport enthusiasts, particularly those passionate about endurance racing.
Praised primarily for its highly advanced physics engine, this simulator is based on the World Endurance Championship (WEC) starting from the 2023 season, the last year that the iconic GTE cars competed. The sim features categories such as LMH/LMdH, LMP2, GTE, and the newly introduced LMGT3, which FIA and ACO added to replace GTE and reduce costs for racing teams.
Le Mans Ultimate includes a selection of highly detailed circuits: Bahrain, Circuit de la Sarthe, COTA, Fuji, Imola, Monza, Portimao, Sebring, and Spa. Each of these tracks has been digitally recreated using laser scan technology, ensuring the highest level of accuracy and realism compared to their real-world counterparts.
