Simracers are thus offered a comprehensive update before the real motorsport event, bringing the simulation up to the 2026 season standard. Accordingly, 2026 car designs are available for the WEC grid, and there are “new” cars.

BMW M Hybrid V8 LMDh Evo, Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo, Ford Mustang GT3 Evo, Porsche 911 GT3 R Evo, and Toyota TR010 make the Evo packages and Joker updates introduced by manufacturers for this year playable. Additionally, LMU owners can expect the Adess AD25 in the LMP3 class as a free vehicle.

Further information on the detailed improvements of V1.3.3 (Update 3, Patch 3) can be found in the changelog. A new video is also available. Looking ahead to July, Studio 397 has announced that major release version 1.4 will be released next month.

This will be significantly larger in content than V1.3.3. Along with the update, the new Season Pass will also be available. More information on this will be provided in exactly one month.
