Why Le Mans Ultimate can trigger motion sickness
Studio 397 lists a percentage setting called Head Physics and lowered its default to 10% for first-time players. The notes do not explain it, but the name points to camera movement from the car's motion. The studio's own performance guide also says motion blur causes discomfort in VR. The field of view can be changed in the game, and it has its own key bind.
- Head Physics, a percentage setting whose default was lowered to 10% for new players
- Motion blur, which Studio 397 says causes discomfort in VR
- A field of view that does not suit your screen or headset

Frequently asked questions
Does Le Mans Ultimate have motion sickness settings?
Studio 397's release notes name a Head Physics percentage, a Motion Blur setting and a field of view control. They do not describe any of them as a motion sickness setting. Its performance guide says motion blur causes discomfort in VR.
What is Head Physics in Le Mans Ultimate?
Studio 397's notes list it as a percentage setting. In February 2024 the studio reduced its default to 10% for first-time users, and in March 2024 it fixed a bug that locked the setting to a maximum of 10%. The notes opened do not explain it, so the name is the only hint that it concerns head and camera movement.
Can I change the field of view in Le Mans Ultimate?
Yes. Studio 397's December 2024 notes mention changing the field of view in the game and a field of view key bind control. The sources opened do not name the menu, so look in the settings and in the controls list.
