LMU V1.3: BoP, New Content, Setup Impact

LMU v1.3 dropped 31 March 2026. New content, significant BoP revisions across both Hypercar and LMGT3, and a Ginetta physics fix. Here's everything that affects your setups, and what doesn't.

New Content

ELMS Pack 3 completes the season pass. The Duqueine D09 LMP3 and Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya are both live now. Four new Paul Ricard layouts are also in — 1a, 1av2, 1av2-short, and 3a — plus WEC, National, and International Silverstone configurations. Imola, Spa, and Portimão have been updated to the 44-car ELMS grid format.

The D09 uses the same Toyota twin-turbo V6 as the Ligier and Ginetta, but has a different chassis and suspension geometry. Don't assume your LMP3 setup will transfer across.

BoP: LMGT3

This is the biggest setup-relevant change in v1.3. Every car listed below received a BoP weight adjustment. HYMO setups for affected cars will be reviewed and updated.

Cars that got heavier (nerfs):

• Lexus RC F — weight added at 12 tracks, up to +12 kg at Imola, +10 kg at COTA, +8 kg at Silverstone
• Aston Martin Vantage AMR — +18 kg at Le Mans, +10 kg at Silverstone, +10 kg at Qatar, +3 kg at Paul Ricard, -7 kg at Sebring
• Lamborghini Huracán EVO2 — +5 kg at Interlagos, Paul Ricard, Portimão, Spa. -5 kg at Le Mans
• Chevrolet Corvette Z06 — +5 kg at Fuji, Le Mans, Silverstone. +12 kg at Monza

Cars that got lighter (buffs):

• Ferrari 296 — weight removed at 10 tracks, up to -15 kg at Sebring, -10 kg at multiple circuits
• McLaren 720S Evo — weight removed at multiple tracks (McLaren data was cut off in source; full numbers to be confirmed)
• BMW M4 — -10 kg at Bahrain, COTA, Imola, Portimão. -8 kg at Sebring. -5 kg at Monza, Silverstone, Spa
• Ford Mustang — -10 kg at COTA, Spa. -8 kg at Qatar. -7 kg at Sebring. -6 kg at Monza
• Porsche 911 LMGT3 R — weight reductions at multiple tracks

BoP: Hypercar

Big moves in the Hypercar class too.

Cars that got heavier:

• Ferrari 499P — +15 kg at Bahrain, COTA, Interlagos, Paul Ricard. +18 kg at Silverstone. +12 kg at Imola. +10 kg at Fuji, Portimão, Qatar, Sebring, Spa
• Peugeot 9X8 — +25 kg at Silverstone, Qatar. +20 kg at COTA, Paul Ricard. +15 kg at Interlagos, Sebring. +10 kg at Fuji, Portimão. Mixed changes elsewhere

Cars that got lighter:

• Alpine A424 — -10 kg at Paul Ricard, Portimão, Sebring, Silverstone, Spa. -7 kg at COTA, Imola. -5 kg at multiple others. Also receives a -3 kW power reduction at Le Mans
• Aston Martin Valkyrie — -15 kg at Paul Ricard. -10 kg at Bahrain, Fuji, Sebring, Spa. -7 kg at COTA, Le Mans, Silverstone. -5 kg at Interlagos, Qatar
• Isotta Fraschini TIPO6-C — -12 kg at Le Mans. -10 kg at Bahrain, Monza, Sebring
• Lamborghini SC63 — -12 kg at Le Mans. -10 kg at Sebring. -5 kg at Fuji, Monza
• Toyota GR010 — mixed bag, track-dependent changes
• BMW M Hybrid V8 — -5 kg at Bahrain, Imola. +5 kg at Monza
• Cadillac V-Series.R — -7 kg at Imola. +15 kg at Monza. +8 kg at Sebring

Physics: Ginetta Fix

The Ginetta G61-LT-P325-Evo has had its centre of gravity height lowered to improve braking stability. This is a physics change. If you're running a HYMO setup on the Ginetta, expect an updated file.

What Doesn't Need Updating

If your car received no BoP or aero changes in v1.3, your existing HYMO setup is still valid. The performance improvements in this update — the UI system switch, occlusion culling, faster load times, Logitech TrueForce support — are technical changes. They don't touch car physics, aero parameters, or setup files. No update needed for those.

The real road grip level changes across Race Weekend are minor global adjustments. They don't invalidate existing setups.

HYMO PRO members get updated files for every affected car as soon as they're signed off.

TL;DR

• v1.3 is live from 31 March 2026. ELMS Pack 3 adds the Duqueine D09 and Barcelona
• Major BoP weight changes across the full LMGT3 grid. Lexus and Aston Martin nerfed hard. Ferrari 296 and McLaren 720S Evo buffed significantly
• Ferrari 499P and Peugeot 9X8 penalised heavily in Hypercar. Alpine, Valkyrie, SC63, and Isotta all benefit
• Ginetta CoG fix is a physics change. Setup update required
• If your car's BoP or aero wasn't touched in v1.3, your existing setup is still good
