GMR-001 Hypercar launches in Le Mans Ultimate with online competition As Genesis Magma Racing and the GMR-001 Hypercar prepare to join the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) grid at the 6 Hours of Imola later this month, the virtual version of the team’s first car has already been added to the line-up on Le Mans Ultimate.

The two groups worked hand-in-hand to model the car directly from Genesis’s own renderings of the design. Engineers have also provided data and feedback on the suspension settings, aerodynamic balance and gearing of the GMR-001 Hypercar to create a realistic handling model for the car’s launch – which comes before the car’s competitive debut, an impressive first for Le Mans Ultimate and a major accomplishment in any racing simulation. In game, the GMR-001 Hypercar carries the #17 and ‘liquid-metal’ based livery first revealed on March 31.

The sound of the car’s G8MR 3.2l Turbo V8 engine completes the package, created with recordings of the motor from some of Genesis Magma Racing’s latest development tests. The GMR-001 Hypercar is the headline of Motorsport Games’ V1.3 Update for the game, which also features the addition of ELMS content, including the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya as part of a DLC, as well as a number of smaller additions and fixes. The Update also introduces a Korean translation of the game, supporting
