What do you think of the BMW and the new Track?? I’m leaning heavily toward purchasing
I had a nice surprise, I had ‘forgotten’ that I bought the 2024 Season Pass and when I went to the store to purchase Pack #3 (pretty much just for Interlagos), I was greeted with a message saying it was already in my library… Happy days

The BMW is very quick on most tracks so far. The McLaren as well- it’s very well balanced especially under braking. I’d say these are the 2 top cars in the LMGT3 class so far, but I wouldn’t be surprised if these cars receive an “adjustment” in a few weeks time after some feedback from the community.
The Interlagos track is well done. Great details.
10/10 recommended

Maybe they have resolved whatever the ‘issues’ were?
In any case at least it looks like they are continuing development and delivering on what was promised.

LMU is 1 year old today. Lots of great content has been added recently and 2025 looks to be another promising year. New cars (free and DLC), track layouts, UI quality of life, and more.

Since we can’t get the Garage 56 car, the LMGT3 Mustang will be a nice substitute.

So far early reviews look very favorable…Mustang looks like a real Fan Pleaser…updates to tire wear and AI improvements too.

That was a really well done review. It’s good to hear that he rated the Mustang so highly and at the end, revealed that we’ll also be getting the Lexus and the Lambo along with driver swaps in the May update. The Lexus is my favorite drive in ACC. It feels heavy and a bit oafish at times, but the lap time say otherwise. It’s really a blast to drive anywhere, but especially at Batfhurst where you have a lot of high speed weight transfer. Now both sims will have the Mustang and Lexus. It will be great to compare the two, but my money is on LMU.

I wasn’t a fan of the tire model update in December. The slip angle was too black and white. It’s like you either have grip or you don’t and it wasn’t very forgiving when you lost grip. All of the preview videos are claiming it is much better so looking forward to it. 
. The UI and and AI improvements appear to be quite good.

I’m not a serious sim racer so I intended to stop with AMS2 and ACC; however, Ultimate is looking like a snack. 
The simple fact that it has Sebring is enticing enough but those cars… 
I keep hearing the Borg in my head, “Resistance is futile!”
I need an intervention!

I’m having a blast with this since the update,I haven’t touched DCS in two weeks!!! 
The Ferrari is a absolute Monster…grips very well too…I see the average daily races have over 500 participants …that has to be a good sign to Studio 397 and maybe second thoughts of putting LMU up for sale?
I really hope they do a Special Event for Sebring this week…that would attract even more racers to the game.

ICYMI, Le Mans Ultimate and Motorsports Games receive a massive $2.5 million investment. And it’s Pimax behind the investment, of all companies.

That’s really good news. Glad to hear that it’s from a company supporting PC VR simulations as part of its core business.

Fantastic News
Great news, while LMU is a decent racing sim, the Motorsports Games business outlook isn’t overly solid. The stock price is really a penny thing, even with a 1:10 merge of stock it could only stay on the multi-dollar level for a few weeks.
But with the combination of unit sales and the RaceControl+ subscription fees, some hope for LMU at least can be had.
I recently re-assembled my racing rig and drove a few rounds with the Mustang, was good fun.
