Le Mans Ultimate (LMU) — Studio 397's officially licensed FIA World Endurance Championship simulation — continues to grow its track roster in 2026. Whether you're cutting laps online or grinding a solo race weekend, here's a look at the circuits currently available and what makes each one special.
Circuit de la Sarthe — Le Mans, France
The crown jewel of LMU. The Circuit de la Sarthe is the home of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the spiritual heart of endurance racing. At 13.626 km, it blends public roads with a permanent infield section. The Mulsanne Straight (with its chicanes) still delivers white-knuckle top-speed runs, while Ford Chicane and Porsche Curves demand precise, committed driving.
Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps — Belgium
Spa is a 7.004 km rollercoaster through the Ardennes forest. LMU is the only sim featuring the post-2023 redesigned Eau Rouge/Raidillon complex after the circuit's €80 million upgrade — making this version of Spa unique to the platform. Pouhon at full chat in a Hypercar remains one of the most exhilarating moments in sim racing.
Autodromo Nazionale Monza — Italy
The Temple of Speed. Monza is one of the fastest circuits on the WEC calendar and tests your car's straight-line efficiency and aero balance. Low-downforce setups, precise braking into the Variante del Rettifilo, and fighting for slipstream in the final sector — it's fierce in any class, but particularly brutal in LMH Hypercars.
Fuji Speedway — Japan
Nestled in the shadow of Mount Fuji, this Japanese circuit features one of the longest straights on the WEC calendar followed by a brutally tight Turn 1. The technical infield rewards smooth, consistent driving and careful tyre management — a crucial skill in endurance racing.
Bahrain International Circuit
LMU's most versatile track — Bahrain offers four distinct circuit layouts within the same complex. The full Grand Prix layout provides a demanding test under floodlights in the desert, with a long pit straight, heavy braking zones, and abrasive tarmac. The night-race atmosphere in LMU is exceptional here.
Silverstone Circuit — UK (ELMS DLC)
The first circuit added as part of LMU's European Le Mans Series expansion. Silverstone's fast, flowing layout — home of British motorsport since 1948 — suits the Hypercar and LMP3 machinery brilliantly. Maggotts-Becketts-Chapel is one of the finest sequences in all of motorsport, and it translates beautifully in-sim.
Get Out There
LMU's full track list now sits at 14 circuits with 21 configurations — and it's still growing. The Q1 2026 ELMS expansion is set to add Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Whether you're chasing lap times online, running a league championship, or just lapping solo, there's no better time to be racing in Le Mans Ultimate.
