Motorsport Games Celebrates Significant Month for Le Mans Ultimate and Studio 397

MIAMI, July 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Motorsport Games Inc. (NASDAQ: MSGM) (“Motorsport Games” or “the Company”) is today reporting on reaching key operational milestones for Le Mans Ultimate, the official game of the FIA World Endurance Championship and the 24 Hours of Le Mans, and RaceControl, the Company’s matchmaking and online racing system, which provides enhanced access to online features, including championships, extended registration periods, and priority driver reports.

June was a pivotal month for the FIA World Endurance Championship as the biggest motorsport endurance event of the year in real-life took place – the 24 Hours of Le Mans, from which Le Mans Ultimate draws its name and inspiration. Motorsport Games and Studio 397 B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Studio 397”), planned and executed significant activities, updates and promotion around this extraordinary event.

On June 10, Motorsport Games delivered a large update, bringing support for Teams and Driver Swaps along with Custom Liveries for RaceControl Pro subscribers – the Company’s online ecosystem platform that supports optional subscriptions for power-users, granting additional features. Following this, on June 13, the Company announced an official release date for the game to transition to “version 1.0” full release away from Early Access, adding two new cars free for all players (Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR LMH and Mercedes AMG LMGT3 Evo). Finally, Studio 397 confirmed the addition of the European Le Mans Series to the game as an expansion to the existing agreement with the Automobile Club de l’Ouest, the organizer of the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race.

The net result of June activity has resulted in new heights for the growing Le Mans Ultimate racing simulator title. Firstly, reaching an all-time peak concurrent player count– higher than the initial launch levels in February 2024 and over double that in the previous month. This latest title in the Company’s portfolio has also set a record for a Studio 397 product by generating revenues over the past eighteen months approximately eleven times faster than the prior racing title, rFactor 2. Similarly, subscriptions to the RaceControl service, which provides additional support to all our titles including Le Mans Ultimate, grew by 148% in June 2025 compared to the prior month, breaking all monthly revenue records since the new service was deployed in December 2024.

“We continue to be encouraged by the positive reception of the game, as evidenced by the achievements during this significant month for the title” commented Stephen Hood, President and Chief Executive Officer of Motorsport Games.

Hood continued, “With the version 1.0 release set to follow shortly with new exciting content on July 22, alongside quality of life fixes, followed by new licensed content in the form of the European Le Mans Series, not to mention the much requested Career Mode confirmed to be in development and expected to be delivered in early 2026, we are delighted with the upward trajectory of both product and service performance.”

It has already been a hectic week in the NASCAR world. From a wild racing weekend on the streets of Chicago, to some major breaking news stories. This is the NASCAR News Flash for July 7th through the 12th.

23XI and Front Row Denied Rehearing, Clash Returning to Bowman Gray and More: NASCAR News Flash

There were plenty of crazy moments in the closing moments in Chicago. You had quite the drama between several different drivers. Including a heated exchange between Joey Logano and Ross Chastain. That, however, might not be the biggest news of the week.  23XI Racing and Front Row Motorsports received some not-so-great news. Not to mention, the Clash will return to the ‘Madhouse’ for 2026.

23XI and Front Row Motorsports Rehearing Denied, Won’t Be Chartered Teams Come Dover

While there have been plenty of headlines surrounding 23XI and FRM’s standing as chartered race teams this season. They will have to face a real reality come next week at Dover. A massive bombshell dropped for both teams this week. The Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals denied the teams’ request for a rehearing in their lawsuit against the Sport.

That now means, as early as the Dover Race Weekend, both teams’ three cars will have to qualify their way into the races as open cars. Affecting drivers Bubba Wallace (No. 23), Tyler Reddick (No. 45), and Riley Herbst (No. 35) from 23XI.  Noah Gragson (No. 4), Todd Gilliland (No. 34), and Zane Smith (No. 38) from FRM are also in a tough situation.

It would also mean that FRM and the 23XI team, co-owned by Michael Jordan and Denny Hamlin, would make less money than the chartered teams. It also begs the question of what becomes of those six charters in the future.

In a statement from Jeffery Kessler, Attorney for both teams in this case, cited the disappointment in the lack of a full rehearing, and that the teams are still committed to competing every week.

#NASCAR … Statement from Jeffrey Kessler, attorney for 23XI Racing and Front Roe Motorsports l, on decision by 4th Circuit Court of Appeals to deny rehearing for those teams to keep chartered status …

“We are disappointed by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals decision to…

— Dustin Long (@dustinlong) July 9, 2025

” We are disappointed by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals’ decision to deny our request for a full rehearing,” Kessler said. ” This decision has no bearing on the strength of our antitrust case, which we look forward to presenting at trial. We are committed to racing this season as we continue to fight for more competitive and fair terms for all teams to ensure the future of the sport, and remain fully confident in our case.”

At this point, it pretty much makes all six drivers expendable in a way. Each has proven to be a very capable driver, so it will be interesting to see what happens over the next several weeks. It certainly makes things much more difficult for all who are battling for the 2025 NASCAR playoffs at this rate.

Clash Returns to Bowman Gray for 2026

In a statement shared on Wednesday, NASCAR officials announced that the return of the Cook Out Clash exhibition race. The first race of the 2026 NASCAR season will once again be at the historic Bowman Gray Stadium. Joey Dennewitz, the NASCAR Regional’s Managing Director was happy to announce the return of the event for the second-straight year.

” We wrote a new chapter in the storied history of motorsports at Bowman Gray Stadium with the Cook Out Clash this year,” Dennewitz said. ” As NASCAR’s first weekly race track, we are proud to bring the 2026 Cook Out Clash back to the original home to grassroots racing. Thanks to the City of Winston-Salem and Winston-Salem State University for their continued partnership at ‘The Madhouse.’”

The first run their this season did not disappoint, and it saw NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver, Chase Elliott, emerge victorious. Which made him a perfect way for NASCAR to promote the return in a promotional video on Social Media.

At a place that remembers everything, we’re writing history you can’t forget.

Logano vs Chastain Rivalry Should Be Fun

A very heated exchange occurred following Sunday’s race in Chicago. Ross Chastain and Joey Logano had a bit of a run-in in the closing laps of the race, and the pair exchanged words after the event. Though you couldn’t make out exactly what was said, during their moment of talking to each other. After Logano walked away, he claimed Chastain admitted to wrecking him on purpose and called for Ross to be fined, to the media that was walking with him.

— Dalton Hopkins (@PitLaneCPT) July 6, 2025

It also appears that Chastain’s onboard camera and audio caught him admitting he did it on purpose. NASCAR did announce there will be no penalties for rough driving from Chicago, so Joey will just have to get even with Ross. It just seems like stubborn drivers butting heads in all reality. Which should make for a fun rest of the season for the pair.

Elliott has four consecutive top-10 finishes at Sonoma, tied for the longest active streak. He’s won at five road courses in his career, most of all drivers, but is still looking for his first win on the Napa Valley road course. He’s led laps in each of the last five Sonoma Cup Series events, tied for the record.
The 2020 Cup Series champion has the most road course wins among active drivers (seven) and the third all-time behind NASCAR Hall of Famers Jeff Gordon (nine) and Tony Stewart (eight). His average finish of 9.03 leads active drivers (minimum four starts).
In the Next Gen era on road courses, Elliott leads the series in top-five finishes (10), and his 12 top 10s are third most. His 147 laps led rank third and 610 points earned rank second.

With Alex Bowman’s eighth-place run at the Chicago Street Course on Sunday, Hendrick Motorsports remains the only organization to place at least one car in the top 10 of every event in 2025. That streak goes back 27 events to last season, the longest such run of any team in the Next Gen era.
The Hendrick Motorsports engine shop has won 15 combined poles (seven in the NASCAR Cup Series and eight in the Xfinity Series) and 16 combined races (five in the Cup Series, 10 in the Xfinity Series and the preseason Clash) this year. Its 39 victories in regular season Cup Series events are the most in the Next Gen era.
Hendrick Motorsports has led 1,913 laps through 19 events this year, accounting for 40% of all circuits completed in the Cup Series and more than any other team by 953.
Hendrick Motorsports enters this weekend’s race at Sonoma Raceway as the all-time leader in wins (eight), poles (10), top fives (36), top 10s (63) laps led (830) and stage wins (five).
Five of the last 10 road course races have gone to Hendrick Motorsports with Bowman, Kyle Larson (twice) and William Byron (twice) all winning in that span. Larson is the defending winner at Sonoma Raceway.

Kyle Larson, driver of the No. 5 Chevrolet, on racing in his home state of California: “It’s always special to go back home. I love having friends and family at the track, especially the friends that don’t typically get to go to the track. We have dominated there in the past – hopefully we’ll be just as good and catch Jeff Gordon (on Sonoma Raceway’s all-time wins list). It will feel hotter in Sonoma with the race being in July. The pavement will be a little bit slicker. I personally prefer the race to be in July, more enjoyable for everyone that comes into town and experience Napa (California).”

Chase Elliott, driver of the No. 9 Chevrolet, on Sonoma Raceway: “Sonoma is a track I always enjoy going to. Last year, I thought that we had really good pace, and our road course program this season has been strong, so that gives me confidence heading into this weekend. This entire stretch of races coming up, really, I think could be good for us. We’re within reach of the regular season championship, so running well and maximizing points is going to be really important.”

William Byron, driver of the No. 24 Chevrolet, on the team as it heads to Sonoma Raceway: “It’s been a rough couple weeks for our No. 24 team. We can’t get down though. We’ve been fast at every track and just had something, both in and out of our control, happen. Hopefully this weekend can just be a smooth one so we can get back in the groove we were in. I know everyone on the team has the same mindset, and no one is giving up.”

Alex Bowman, driver of the No. 48 Chevrolet, on Sonoma Raceway: “Sonoma’s one of those places that really challenges you as a driver. It’s technical, it’s physical, and every lap you’re just trying to stay mistake-free. We are coming off of a solid race from Chicago. I feel like we got our bad luck out of the way and need to be consistent here on out to make sure that we stay off the cutoff line. We’re a team capable of winning it just hasn’t been in the cards for us yet.”

HMS PR

After finishing in second place at Darlington Raceway back in April, Chase Elliott returned to the NASCAR Xfinity Series behind the wheel of the No. 17 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports, the team for which he competes full-time in the Cup Series, at Pocono Raceway a few weeks ago.

He finished in fourth place after trouble and contact with Justin Allgaier on a late restart ultimately knocked him from the lead. As it turns out, the No. 17 car was taken back to the NASCAR R&D Center in Concord, North Carolina, and Rick Hendrick’s team ended up being slapped with several hefty penalties due to a technical infraction.

The No. 17 Chevrolet hasn’t been back since, and Elliott does not have any plans to drive it throughout the remainder of the 2025 season. But this weekend, it is set to return, and it’s the driver with the most starts behind the wheel of the car so far this year who is set to drive it once again.

Corey Day is set to replace Elliott for this Saturday afternoon’s Pit Boss/FoodMaxx 250 at Sonoma Raceway.

The 19-year-old Clovis, California native has made three starts so far this season. He made his Xfinity Series debut at Martinsville Speedway and finished in 21st place, and he added finishes of 16th at Texas Motor Speedway and 11th at Nashville Superspeedway.

Day is effectively set to become the car’s primary driver moving forward, even though he won’t compete every weekend.

In addition to this weekend’s 79-lap race around the 12-turn, 1.99-mile (3.203-kilometer) Sonoma, California road course, he is set to drive the No. 17 entry in the upcoming race at Iowa Speedway, plus the playoff races at Bristol Motor Speedway, the Charlotte Motor Speedway Roval, Las Vegas Motor Speedway, Martinsville Speedway, and Phoenix Raceway.

Rajah Caruth and Jake Finch are expected to drive the car at some point before the season ends as well, but schedules have not yet been confirmed for either one of them.

William Byron and Kyle Larson have each driven the No. 17 Chevrolet twice this year, like Elliott, and Alex Bowman has driven it once. Nobody else is currently lined up to drive it later this year.

As for this weekend’s race, tune in to the CW Network at 4:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, July 12 for the live broadcast of the Pit Boss/FoodMaxx 250 from Sonoma Raceway. Start a free trial of FuboTV now if you have not already had the chance to do so!
