Today marks the start of Endurance racing’s biggest stage: The 24-hour Le Mans race. To help players get into the feeling, this game update drops a stacked grid of modern legends, from the Ferrari 499P that brought the Prancing Horse back to glory, to Porsche’s title winning 963, BMW’s hybrid V8 powerhouse, and Peugeot’s boundary pushing 9X8, plus a 911 Turbo S Safety Car to keep it all in line.

Also arriving in Update 1.70, a new Menu, five new World Circuits events including the legendary 24 Heures du Mans Racing Circuit. All of this will be available for free beginning today at 11:00pm PDT / June 11 at 7:00am BST / 3:00pm JST*.

You love precision, rhythm, and that “factory team” feeling. 

Trademark

The Ferrari 499P is rear wheel drive… until it isn’t: The car runs as RWD most of the lap, but becomes four-wheel drive above ~118 mph, giving it extra grip in fast corners like Nürburgring and the Porsche Curves at Le Mans.  

Drive challenge

Practice: World Map >> World Circuits >> Asia-Oceania >> Suzuka Circuit  

Mission: Drive clean, stay on track, and finish the race without crashing — even if you’re not fast.

You like aggression, heavy braking, and cars that feel powerful and physical. 

Trademark

This car’s legend started with a breakthrough win — and it’s built to stay calm when the race turns messy. At Indianapolis, BMW scored a historic 1‑2 finish, and reporting specifically calls out the final laps happening in dense lapping traffic. This car was built to thrive in chaos.

Mission: Pass other cars cleanly without hitting them before time runs out 

Advanced Testing: World Map >> Missions >> Watkins Glen

You want something different, you enjoy learning curves, and you like mastering the unusual. 

Trademark

A century‑long rule broken. The 9X8 launched without a rear wing, something unseen in top‑level endurance racing for more than 50 years. The rear wing on a hyper car is its stability dial: more grip in corners, less speed in a straight line. Without a rear wing, all of the 9X8’s downforce came from underbody aero and body shaping. Thankfully, there’s one on this version for you.   

Drive Challenge

Practice: Garage >> Car Settings >> Brake Balance 

Mission: Race at an event, try Monza Circuit Experience. Then go your Garage and move the Brake Balance one or two steps forward. Finally, drive the same event again and try to notice the difference. 

Advanced Test: World Circuits >> Europe-Middle East >> Monza

5) Majority E answers

Porsche 911 Turbo S Safety Car
