The hotly debated Project CARS 2 title offers a surprisingly deep experience for those looking to easily recreate Le Mans in the comfort of their home. iRacing offers LMP1, LMP2 and GTE classes. Although the official event has come and gone, there is still the chance to enjoy a hosted event or some hotlapping. The king of online racing is an obvious choice for enjoying some action at Circuit de la Sarthe. LMP1 is trickier to acquire since rF2 doesn’t support hybrid powertrains, but the non-hybrid Ginetta G60-LT-P1 from Global Endurance Modding can be found in the rFactor 2 Steam Workshop. Le Mans 24h is available as DLC for rFactor 2, and can be supplemented with the Endurance Pack DLC, which brings some excellent LMP2, LMP3 and GTE cars to the sim. RFactor 2 was selected as the platform for the FIA sanctioned 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual last year, which is high praise for Studio 397’s title. Here are some ways to recreate the 24 Hours of Le Mans in some popular racing games and racing sims. Hypercar class cars have yet to establish a presence in the virtual racing world, but many current and historic classes and cars are available in select titles. There is a Le Mans / WEC game coming in the future from Motorsport Games, but for now, we can content ourselves with some excellent alternatives to recreate the famous endurance race from the comfort of our homes.

Those fortunate enough to attend the race will see the reigning fastest class at Le Mans, LMP1, replaced with the Hypercar class. Last year's event was held behind closed doors due to COVID-19, but the race has once again opened its doors to the public this year.

With just one week left before the 89th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it’s a great time to highlight some of the ways we can enjoy racing it virtually.Ī massive field of cars is set to take on the historic Circuit de la Sarthe on August 21st and 22nd for the 89th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
