Le Mans Ultimate Developers Restrict Third-Party Statistics Trackers
The creators of Le Mans Ultimate have introduced technical restrictions against third-party statistical trackers to protect server infrastructure and user data.
Restrictions against unofficial third-party statistics tracking platforms have taken effect in Le Mans Ultimate. The blocked services primarily extracted race histories, Driver Rating, and Safety Rating figures calculated by the simulator's internal RaceControl framework.
Without an official public API available, developers of external utilities utilised Steam authentication to send automated queries directly to the game's infrastructure on behalf of registered players. According to the development team, certain standalone tools generated millions of requests, causing significant extra server overhead and putting the general stability of RaceControl at risk.
Data privacy also played a central role in the decision, as the activity records and metrics of numerous drivers were made publicly accessible without their explicit consent. To counter this, automated request rate limiting and automated IP blocking for suspicious connections have been deployed across the network.
Studio representatives urged players to avoid third-party stat portals, stating that such scraping breaches the user agreement and privacy guidelines. At the same time, the developers clarified that the newly enforced filters will not disrupt custom streaming overlays or amateur career tools.
