Studio 397 released the latest endurance update for Le Mans Ultimate, centering on a rescanned Spa-Francorchamps and comprehensive balance adjustments across the LMGT3 and Hypercar fields.
The Spa update accurately models revised runoff curbing at Raidillon and Bruxelles, punishing aggressive curb-cutting with realistic chassis bounce. In tandem, the tire model updates introduce non-linear wet tire drying lines, requiring drivers in changing weather to hunt for standing water to keep tire carcass temperatures in check.
Update Takeaways
• Rescanned Circuit: Updated surface data for Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps reflecting real-world FIA asphalt resurfacing.
• LMGT3 BoP: Weight ballast deltas adjusted to equalize top speeds along the Kemmel Straight.
• Wet Weather Lines: Tires overheat rapidly off the wet line once rain stops, making track positioning vital.
Prep Your Endurance Strategy
If you're gearing up for 6-hour endurance events this weekend, log practice stints on the updated curbing baselines. Smooth inputs through Eau Rouge will protect splitter aero and keep your prototype pointed straight.
