Additional updates to the release version include some quality of life updates such as a revamped car setup page that reduces the amount of clicking needed to change important details of your setup. New position boards have been added to cars and a selection of new liveries have also been added with LMP2 Le Mans 2025 liveries on their way.

The tire model for LMGT3 cars have had updates to the tire thermals to increase the performance range, with the developers stating they are listening to feedback and continuing their work to improve tire models. Additionally the developers announced that work continues on a career mode with a single player experience expected to be released in early 2026.
