Game Over For Le Mans Virtual? - January 23rd, 2023

After a humiliating 2023 edition, we question whether Virtual Le Mans can recover its reputation for future seasons.

Motorsport games entered material definitive agreement, we will see how long they can hold iP rights.

[@ApexRacingTV]

hadn't seen this reported yet - could be major. I think all simracing fans agree the worst scenario would be for their development to pause whilst they still own the licenses

[@JosephDungee]

And the Answer to the Title: A Resounding "Yes" Until the release and Updating of "Le Mans Ultimate" in late 2023, Early 2024

[@SarahSmith-yk5cy]

George here comes across as a reasoned human being here - a shame he's so unprofessional on social media

[@mesoanarchy]

Soooo, people are SO nasty, SO, crass and morally bereft that they seek to ruin the event by attacking the site?!?!

[@ApexRacingTV]

yep was disappointing that they compromised the event. However the event sharing their IP address to anyone on RFactor was a rookie mistake

[@ruddgrandprix-speedrunraci8515]

That really stinks. And I don't support Motorsports games.

[@samfitzpatrick7891]

Feel bad for the Redline #1 in particular. Not sure if points should've counted for the final round

[@SarahSmith-yk5cy]

@@samfitzpatrick7891 Nah, you can't change a rule through the race and then just quit - I agree the disconnect was bad, but no rule bending just for Max

[@ruddgrandprix-speedrunraci8515]

I'm talking about the dire future of virtual Lemans 24. I hope this event is not disappearing because of the virtual Indy 500.
