The first European Le Mans (ELMS) DLC pack for Le Mans Ultimate is finally here, and it adds a mix of highly anticipated content and technical improvements to the sim. Players can now experience Silverstone Circuit and the Ligue JS P325 LMP3 car, marking a significant step towards a more complete ELMS experience within the game.
Priced at £8.99/€9.99/$11.99, the first of three planned ELMS DLCs is now available. Those who want the entire series can pick up the Season Pass for a discounted £21.99/€24.99/$28.99, which will cover the remaining two DLC packs scheduled for later releases.
What’s Coming Next
This first release sets the tone for what’s to come. Future packs will include:
- Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya
- Circuit Paul Ricard
- Duqueine D09 LMP3 car
- Ginetta G61-LT-P3 Evo LMP3 car
Pack 2 is expected before the end of 2025, with the third and final ELMS DLC arriving in Q1 2026.
Free Content for All Players
Even if you don’t buy the DLC, you’re not left out. All Le Mans Ultimate players receive:
- The unrestricted ELMs-spec Oreca 07 LMP 2 is faster than the existing model.
- 2025 ELMS liveries for free
In order to accommodate ELMS events, future updates will also raise the grid capabilities at Imola, Spa-Francorchamps, and the Algarve International Circuit to 44 vehicles. With its national and international layouts scheduled at a later time, Silverstone already benefits from this facelift.
Driver Swaps and Engineer Mode
It' highly anticipated, Engineer Mode won’t be available during the game’s upcoming Driver Seat Test Race, which is set for October 3-5. Nevertheless, this competition will provide LMU with another chance to test its endurance racing systems.
