Le Mans Ultimate is seeing more attention from sim racers since its February 2025 update - perfect timing for our Racing Club to run its first LMU event!
Just over a year after its Early Access release, Le Mans Ultimate is surrounded by more and more positivity from the sim racing community: Following its February update that added three more LMGT3 contenders to have most of the 2024 grid represented, interest in the official WEC game has noticeably increased.
Since LMU's December update, hosted sessions have been possible, whereas previously, it had only been official daily or weekly races and special events as far as online multiplayer was concerned. So it is about time that our Racing Club finally hit the virtual road in Le Mans Ultimate as well - and that's exactly what it did on March 11.
For the first time ever, our Racing Club ran an LMU event - although it lined up more with the 2025 IMSA calendar rather than WEC, which has seen its season opener in Qatar just as February ended: An hour-long race at Sebring was in order, and in the same week as the actual race as well. The contenders: LMP2 prototypes and the freshly-updated LMGT3 grid.
Check out our YouTube stream, embedded above, or if you prefer to watch over on Twitch, we also had a stream live there! On YouTube, @Michel Wolk streamed his POV in the LMGT3 class and on Twitch, we had an overview broadcast-style stream.
The grid was packed, too: All 35 slots - 15 in LMP2, 20 in LMGT3 - were taken, with 29 actually taking to the grid - and both classes saw plenty of action.
