Le Mans Ultimate June update adds driver swaps, team management and new DLC content

Final 2024 DLC pack arrives with new cars and a new track

The official announcement says the June 10 content drop completes the 2024 season for Le Mans Ultimate and includes two new LMGT3 cars and one new track.

The Steam post does not name the cars or track in the supplied material, but it confirms that the DLC pack is the fifth and final one for the 2024 season.

Driver swaps move into live online Special Events

A key part of the update is the new driver swap feature, which will let players hand over the car mid-race during live online endurance events.

The studio says teammates will be able to swap in the pit lane using the driver field in the multi-function display, or MFD. It also says server-side changes were made for security, performance and functionality, and that teammates will be able to configure pit stops.

The feature will launch first in Special Events only. The developer says this limited rollout is intended to help it monitor performance and make adjustments, because large-scale testing of server load and driver-swap data over many hours is difficult for a team of its size. The announcement says upcoming team-based Special Events will be shared through social media and in-game channels. Future expansion is planned toward team-based online championships and leagues via racecontrol.gg and Sim Grid as confidence in the feature grows.

Team management brings roles, lineups and larger team options

The same update adds a new team system powered by RaceControl. Players will be able to create a team identity, invite friends and assign teammates to different roles and car lineups.

The available roles are Driver, Engineer, Manager and Team Owner. The Engineer can view car and session data and make pit stop changes. The Manager can assign players to lineups, assign liveries and register them for races. The Team Owner has the same capabilities as the other roles and can also change ownership.

According to the announcement, teams can be created with up to six members and one lineup by default. Players who want larger teams will need a RaceControl Pro or Pro+ subscription, which raises the limit to up to 100 members and up to 10 lineups.

Custom liveries and team presentation tools

The update also introduces a new livery system that allows players to upload a livery and apply it to a car for a specific team, with automatic handling afterward according to the source excerpt.

The Steam post says players will be able to upload a logo and a background page for their team, and that these elements will be used across event pages as well. Team features will be available from a new Teams dropdown menu in the top right of the screen.

Why this matters for players and organizers

For players, the update is important because it moves Le Mans Ultimate beyond one-off entries and closer to a structured endurance racing format where strategy, pit work and role division matter over multi-hour events.

For tournament organizers and league operators, the combination of team management, special event support and planned integrations with RaceControl, Sim Grid and racecontrol.gg suggests a more formal path toward organized endurance competition. For streamers and community teams, the new system also offers clearer team identities, shared responsibilities and a way to present lineups and liveries more consistently.

The official announcement is careful to frame the first release as a controlled rollout rather than a full-scale launch, which means players should expect the feature set to grow gradually as the developer gathers performance data.
