Since the deployment of the Version 1.2 update in December, Le Mans Ultimate has recorded its highest concurrent player counts to date, reflecting sustained and growing engagement across the global simulation racing audience. The update delivered a broad set of content and platform improvements, including expanded European Le Mans Series integration, physics and handling refinements, the addition of Team races to the online championship system, and quality-of-life improvements driven by community feedback. Management views the resulting uplift in player activity as validation of the Company's product roadmap and live-service development strategy. Peak concurrent players since the verion 1.2 update are over 4 times higher than the same month last year with a peak of 8,740 on January 3, 2026 which co-incides with our live service offering of the "6 Hours of Monza". This increase in player numbers is also reflected in the demand for online races with 12.5 million laps driven on our RaceControl online service in December which is an increase of 608% compared to the same month in the prior year.
