Le Mans Ultimate (LMU) setups — share and download the best community tuning
A community library of Le Mans Ultimate setups, fully integrated into the SimHub Strat Calculator plugin. Hypercar, LMGT3, LMP2 — share yours, download others' in one click.
Why share setups?
On Le Mans Ultimate, finding a good setup can eat hours of testing. Sharing a proven setup saves the community time — and lets you benefit from others' work on cars and tracks you're just discovering.
Strat Calculator centralizes a library of .svm setups shared by community drivers, filterable by car, track, type (race / qualifying) and conditions (dry / wet). Sharing and downloading happen directly inside the SimHub plugin — no manual file handling, no copy-paste.
How it works
Three simple steps, all from the SimHub Strat Calculator plugin:
- Install the plugin SimHub Strat Calculator and configure your API key (standard plugin setup, 2 minutes).
- Share a setup: in the "Share" sub-tab, click next to a recent session. The plugin detects the car and track, filters your matching
.svmfiles, and sends everything in one click. - Download a community setup: in the "Community" sub-tab, filter by car / track / type, and click "Download". The file is installed directly in the correct
UserData\player\Settings\{track}\folder of Le Mans Ultimate — it automatically appears in the in-game setup selector.
No manual file handling, no risk of misplacement.

Filters and sort to find the right setup
The community library grows fast. To stay focused, the same filters are available in the plugin and on the website:
- Class: Hypercar, LMGT3, LMP2, LMP3
- Car: precise chassis selection
- Track: all official LMU layouts
- Type: race (durability, balance) or qualifying (soft tyre, top speed)
- Conditions: dry or wet (a wet setup is radically different — tyre pressure, ride heights, stiffness, aero)
- Sort: most recent, best recorded lap time, most downloaded
The "Most downloaded" sort is especially useful to spot community-validated setups on popular cars (Hypercar Peugeot 9X8, Ferrari 296 GT3, Oreca 07…).
Public or private: your call
When sharing, you decide whether the setup is:
- Public: visible and downloadable by the whole community (Premium subscribers only for download)
- Private: visible only in your own interface ("My setups" sub-tab), even if you change PC or reinstall the game
Private mode is useful to:
- Back up setups in the cloud without manual file handling
- Keep a "secret" setup for an upcoming competition, then make it public later
- Retrieve your setups from any computer where the plugin is installed
You can toggle a setup between private and public at any time from the "My setups" tab in the plugin, or from the /my-setups page on the website.
Why through the SimHub plugin and not a web upload?
A traditional web upload would require you to:
- Locate the
.svmfile manually inUserData\player\Settings\{track}\ - Pick it via a file explorer
- Type car, track, lap time, type, conditions by hand
- When downloading, do it in reverse (download, open the LMU folder, copy to the right place)
The SimHub Strat Calculator plugin removes all those steps: it knows your current session (car, track, best lap), filters your .svm to show only the relevant ones, and on download writes the file directly to the right location on your disk.
It's a shortcut for drivers who don't want to waste time managing files between two sessions.
Frequently asked questions about LMU setups
Which subscription is required to share and download LMU setups?
Sharing setups is open to Standard and Premium subscribers. Downloading setups shared by the community is reserved for Premium subscribers. Exception: you can always re-download your own setups (even private ones) without being Premium, as long as you are the author. Browsing the public list is possible with a free account.
Is the downloaded setup installed automatically in Le Mans Ultimate?
Yes. The plugin writes the .svm file directly to UserData\player\Settings\{track}\, the correct folder LMU expects. Next time you load that car on that track, the setup shows up in the in-game selector — no manual handling needed.
Is my in-game name attached to setups I share?
You pick your own driver name that will be displayed publicly on your shared setups. It's set in the "Share" sub-tab of the plugin (Identity section), only once. It can be different from your Steam handle or your registration email.
Can I delete or make private a setup that's already shared?
Yes, anytime. In the "My setups" sub-tab of the plugin (or on the /my-setups page on the website), each setup offers three actions: Download, Make private / public (toggle), Delete. Deleting removes the setup from the public library immediately.
Are setups from other games (rFactor 2, ACC, AC, iRacing) supported?
Not at the moment. The community library is limited to Le Mans Ultimate for V1, as each simulator has its own setup file format and folder structure. Other games may be added later based on demand.
How does the plugin's automatic car detection work?
The plugin reads your current SimHub session (from the SimHub Statistics LiteDB) to identify the chassis, then scans your .svm files in the matching track folder. It filters those files via the team code stored in the //VEH= line of each .svm to only offer setups for the exact car of your session — including distinguishing sub-teams (for instance AF Corse 296 GT3 vs AF Corse 499P Hypercar).
Can a shared setup contain sensitive information?
No. A Le Mans Ultimate .svm file only contains car tuning parameters (camber, pressures, springs, anti-roll bars, wings, gearing, differential, brakes…). No personal data, no account or PC-related element is included.
