INDUSTRY-LEADING PHYSICS MODEL

Le Mans Ultimate uses the industry leading physics and handling simulation DNA from pMotor 2.5 as used and further improved from rFactor2 – enabling the game to take on more advanced simulation techniques, such as hybrid units, whilst also become more accessible and user friendly to the community – removing barriers to entry while also maintaining the key core elements of sim racing.

Tyre dynamics are first-in-class, utilising an advanced “brush” model that accurately portrays slip angles and models advanced features such as vehicle “flat spots” that you can really feel.

For wheel users, the 400Hz physics engine is directly translated into force feedback, delivering a highly detailed and predictable feeling to your steering wheel with presets available directly collaborated on with a number of prominent equipment manufacturers.

The game also features improved controller support as well as a selectable and customisable difficulty level – to allow the player to determine their own skill level with help for first timers allowing adjustable assists.

DYNAMIC RACING EXPERIENCE

Realistic day and night cycles are a key element of this simulation with incredible lighting effects as you race into dusk, through night and again into dawn down the mulsanne at over 200mph.

Le Mans Ultimate uses an advancement in Real Road 2.0 track evolution simulation found uniquely in Studio 397 titles. Like a real race session, the track will begin as a green, relatively gripless circuit at the start of a weekend and rubber in as more cars pass over the racing line – with cars moving the dust, dirt and marbles off-line.

Work has been undertaken in several areas, including the dynamic weather effects too, such as rainfall and debris on windscreens and more realistic flow of water and formation of puddles on the circuit.

The cars will also change throughout the race, and the build-up of dirt and debris will cover the car – giving it the authentic weathered, endurance look.
