Le Mans 24 Hours video games

For the following year, this arcade game was subsequently ported to the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MSX, and ZX Spectrum by Ocean Software.

Two years later, the French video game publisher Infogrames, who incidentally absorbed Ocean, released Le Mans 24 Hours for PlayStation and PC.

This version of the game was originally planned to be a port from the PlayStation, but was eventually developed from scratch by Australian company Melbourne House which had recently been purchased by Infogrames.

The Circuit de la Sarthe depicted in the game is much wider, with corners such as Dunlop and Arnage having a much shorter run in, and with significant elevation changes on the track (such as the Hunaudières curve) almost imperceptible.

Gran Turismo 5, released in November 2010, also includes the Le Mans circuit, along with two 24 hour races.

iRacing, released in 2008, has the addition of the Le Mans circuit in 2016, featuring the track as it was configured for the 2015 event.

rFactor 2 is currently used to host the 24 Hours of Le Mans Virtual esports event, which saw big names such as three-time Formula One World Champion Max Verstappen and former NASCAR driver Juan Pablo Montoya participate.

Hosted by Motorsport Games,[4] the 2020 installment saw two red flags,[5][6] with the 2023 edition of the race seeing the servers suffering a security breach and rFactor 2's stability being called into question.
