[h3]2024 Pack 1 – Tifosi Italia – The first DLC pack from Le Mans Ultimate[/h3]
The European summer hots up with two Hypercars ready to do battle at the Autodromo
Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari (Imola Circuit). Imola received an enormous crowd
back in April, with over 70,000 fans across the three days when the FIA WEC visited in
the Spring. Such was its popularity, the undulating circuit nestled in northern Italy will
become a permanent feature on future calendars for the next four years – making it a
sportscar racing fixture for fans for years to come.
The striking and beautiful Lamborghini SC63 from the stable of the raging bull is a car
built with the Italian flair and passion – taking on some of the biggest manufacturers in
the world including Toyota, Porsche and Ferrari. It’s 3.8-litre V8 packs a punch, and its
exhaust note is one to stir the emotion of any motorsport fan.
Facing the Lamborghini is the might from Peugeot. Imola was chosen by the French
manufacturer to debut the all-new, 2024 evolution of its 9X8 Hypercar, with its
aggressive and purposeful looks, the fearless lion ran strongly against its regular sparing
partners on its debut back in April.
The Italian inspired pack will be available to purchase at an early access price via Steam
for just £9.99 / €11.99 / $12.99 on the 23rd July as well as the content filled 2024
Season Pass.

game. Priced at just £39.99 / €46.99 / $49.99, the pass will offer a saving of almost
25% compared to purchasing all four packs individually. The 2024 Season Pass will
bundle together all four packs, which will include four new Hypercars, four iconic circuits
and seven of the closely matched GT3 cars in larger packs towards the end of the
schedule.

Following the arrival of the free BMW M Hybrid V8 Hypercar last month, all Early Access
players will be able to download two GT3 cars for free later in the season pass schedule
so everyone can experience the latest category in the championship, as well as receiving
the 2024 Le Mans Hypercar and LMP2 liveries, with further free special edition liveries
