The design of the latest BMW Art Car collection has fans very happy and impressed as it was added to the game by Studio 397, just days after the BMW M Hybrid V8 made its debut at Le Mans Ultimate.
Fans of real and virtual racing will certainly love this, which is an important move as it follows the car’s international premiere in Paris.
This time Le Mans Ultimate has a virtual racing environment available, with the new addition of the BMW Art Car to the collection which was launched in Paris.
This introduction to the seamless transition between real and virtual racing comes ahead of the real car’s participation in this weekend’s 24 Hours of Le Mans.
A Work by Julie Mehretu
The 20th BMW Art Car was designed by renowned New York artist Julie Mehretu, who adds a modern design to the venerable series. 2024 will be a very important year for BMW as it will be the 25th anniversary of their overall victory at Le Mans in 1999 with the legendary V12 LMR.
Mehretu’s design combines German racing heritage and creative innovation to make the BMW M Hybrid V8 an attractive car that will represent the team in 2024.
Then on the official test day, the BMW M Hybrid V8 decorated with Mehretu’s artwork made its debut at the Circuit de la Sarthe.
After making its debut, the car’s beautiful design will be on display at the 24 Hours of Le Mans starting on Monday, June 10, as well as at official matches of the FIA World Endurance Championship.
As players prepare for the biggest motorsport event of the year, this inclusion is a special bonus offered to them as part of June’s free update for Le Mans Ultimate.
Studios 397
Developers at Studio 397 worked quickly to bring the BMW Art Car to life in the game. They worked closely with BWM and were able to turn around this complex design in less than two weeks.
Within 20 days of its first public showing taking place in Paris on May 21, the public will be able to access the car after a week of testing and marketing preparation.
This opportunity will come to those who will visit the French 24 Hours of Le Mans, where they will have the opportunity to take a closer look at the #20 BMW M Hybrid V8 Art Car.
This means that Le Mans Ultimate allows fans to drive cars in the Circuit de la Sarthe area on Tuesday, June 11.
The fan area next to the main paddock will host and host this free simulation experience, provided by Thrustmaster, which will enhance the interactive appeal of the event.
The presence of the BMW Art Car at Le Mans Ultimate shows the development of the relationship between motorsport in the real world and the virtual world.
Of course, this could allow fans to interact with the sport in new ways, with increased accessibility and new experiences.
BMW Heritage
This year marks a historic 24 Hours of Le Mans for BMW, as they will commemorate the 25th anniversary of their historic victory that occurred in 1999.
The beautiful coat of paint on the BMW M Hybrid V8 car is a symbol of great respect for the past in anticipation of the achievement in the future.
The combination of heritage and modernity in this design by Julie Mehretu makes it a fitting tribute to BMW’s continued journey in the world of motorsport.
The rapid integration of the BMW Art Car into Le Mans Ultimate saw Studio 397 highlighted for its dedication to updates that they delivered in a timely and exciting way for the community.
The virtual debut of Mehretu’s design can now allow sim racing fans around the world to enjoy a historical piece of motorsport art.
