Le Mans Ultimate - ELMS Pack 2 Review — Ginetta G61 & Paul Ricard Test
A focused DLC that brings the new Ginetta G61-LT-P3 Evo and a detailed Circuit Paul Ricard into the Le Mans Ultimate world. Great for LMP3 fans who want a sharp car and a technically interesting track.
Studio 397 delivers a niche but punchy ELMS pack: the Ginetta G61-LT-P3 Evo and Circuit Paul Ricard. If you like modern LMP3 aero and endurance quirks, this DLC feels like it was built for practice sessions and long stints alike.
The core of this pack is pure circuit-sim enjoyment: the Ginetta carries a twin-turbo V6 (around 470 bhp) and behaves like a true Gen-3 LMP3 — aero-sensitive, eager to carry speed through fast corners and demanding on setup. Braking balance and tyre management are key; push too hard into the abrasive runoff areas at Paul Ricard and you'll feel it in lap times. The Paul Ricard laser-scan is a highlight: those huge blue and red runoff zones are not just cosmetic, they change your confidence and lines. Visually both car and track are cleanly modelled, with nice cockpit cues and believable reflections. Force feedback and steering feel map well to the car's aero traits, so wheel users will be pleased. Pit strategies matter for longer runs, and the pack encourages experimenting with gearing and downforce for different sectors. It’s a small offering content-wise, but what’s here is tuned and purposeful — a focused slice of ELMS racing rather than a bloated bundle.
If you’re into LMP3s and want a polished Paul Ricard experience, this pack is a neat buy — just don’t expect a content bonanza. Worth it for sim racers who value quality over quantity.
Pros
- Faithful Ginetta model with realistic LMP3 behavior and a punchy twin‑turbo V6 feel.
- Excellent Paul Ricard recreation — the runoff zones and layout add real driving decisions.
- Tight, purposeful package: well-executed physics and setup depth for endurance practice.
Cons
- Very limited content — only one car and one track in the pack.
- Windows-only platform support; Mac/Linux fans are left out.
Player Opinion
Players generally praise the car and track — comments like “good car and track” and “Great execution!” pop up for a reason. The community enjoys the driving feel and the attention to Paul Ricard’s quirks; some users even hype up the package with enthusiastic notes. A few voices wished for more cars or additional ELMS content, and a couple of players flagged the expected limitation of platform support.
