Le Mans Ultimate V1.5 is the next big update, and Studio 397 is aiming to release it before the end of 2026. There is no date yet. Here is everything that has been confirmed, and what has not.
Checked on 17 October 2026 against the Le Mans Ultimate news of 17 September, the Motorsport Games release of 22 September and the US Track Pass page on Steam. Nothing newer about V1.5 is on the official news page as of today. I will update this page when Studio 397 says more.
The short version
| What | What is confirmed |
|---|---|
| Release date | None. "Shaping up to end 2026" |
| US Track Pack 3 | The last two US tracks. Steam says December, not final |
| Which tracks | Not announced |
| RaceControl.gg | The new version arrives with V1.5 |
| Single player | Still being worked on, update promised before release |
| Price of V1.5 | Not stated |
When is V1.5 out?
Studio 397 has not given a date. Its news of 17 September said V1.5 "is not far away" and is "shaping up to end 2026 with another big update". So the target is the end of the year.
Motorsport Games, the publisher, called it "our most ambitious update yet" in its 22 September release, again without a date.
US Track Pack 3
The US Track Pass is a $44.99 pass for three packs and six American tracks. Two packs are out:
| Pack | Out | Tracks | Price on Steam |
|---|---|---|---|
| US Track Pack 1 | 28 July 2026 | Daytona International Speedway, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca | $19.99 |
| US Track Pack 2 | 22 September 2026 | Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, Streets of Long Beach | $19.99 |
| US Track Pack 3 | December, not final | 2 tracks, not announced | Not published |
Studio 397 says the last two US tracks are scheduled to land with US Track Pack 3 and V1.5. The Steam page for the pass says December, with a note that content and timing are not final.
I will not guess the two tracks. Nothing official names them. If you own the pass, or you are a RaceControl Pro+ subscriber, the new tracks come to you on release day, as they did for Packs 1 and 2.
All the packs and what they cost are on my Le Mans Ultimate DLC page, and every circuit is in the Le Mans Ultimate track list.
The new RaceControl.gg
RaceControl.gg is the online racing side of the game: the schedule and the sign up. Studio 397 is rebuilding it, and showed an early look in September. In its words, there is "much to do before we get it into your hands with update V1.5".
What it says the new site will do:
- A full schedule page, with the upcoming races in much more detail.
- Race registration from the website, without turning on your PC.
Motorsport Games adds that more of it will roll out before V1.5. If you race online, your ratings are explained in my Le Mans Ultimate safety rating guide.
Single player
Studio 397 says it is "still working hard on an improved single player experience" and that it remains a focus. It promised an update on that before the next release. No feature list yet.
What is there today is in my Le Mans Ultimate career mode page.
What V1.4.2 was
V1.4.2 came out on 22 September with US Track Pack 2. Studio 397 said it would "primarily be fixes not features", mainly online stability. It added the 2026 Le Mans liveries for LMP2 and LMGT3 and refreshed the 2026 ELMS liveries for all three classes. New features, it said, wait for V1.5.
My take
Do not buy anything for V1.5 yet. The version update itself has no announced price, and Pack 3 has no named tracks. If you want the American tracks, the two packs that are out are the known quantity.
If you race online, V1.5 is the one to watch for RaceControl. If you play offline, wait for the single player update Studio 397 has promised, then decide.
