Assetto Corsa server

Managed from: GamePanel. 5 answers, updated 14 November 2026.

Essentials 2

How do I connect to my Assetto Corsa server?

The server registers in the Assetto Corsa server list at every start: look for its name in the game's online mode. In Content Manager you can also add it with the server IP address and HTTP port.

  1. Start the server and wait for the "CONNECTED TO LOBBY" line in the console (a few seconds).

  2. In the game, open online mode and look for the server name (SERVER_NAME), then enter the server password if you set one (SERVER_PASSWORD).

  3. In Content Manager, add the server with the IP address and HTTP port (HTTP_PORT), shown in GamePanelServer Options.

Common errors

  • Content Manager expects the HTTP port, not the game port shown at the top of the console.
  • "TOO MANY REGISTRATION ATTEMPTS" then "LOBBY COULD NOT BE RACHED, SHUTTING SERVER DOWN": the official list refuses registrations that are too close together and the server stops. Wait a minute before restarting it.
Backups, subdomain, SFTP and ports

These topics are common to all games: see the GamePanel sheet. For SFTP, follow the step-by-step FileZilla tutorial.

  1. Help center home, GamePanel sheet (all games).

Guides 3

How do I change the track, the cars or the sessions?

Track, cars, sessions, weather and assists are set in cfg/server_cfg.ini, and the grid slots in cfg/entry_list.ini. Edit them with the server stopped, in GamePanelFiles.

  1. Stop the server.

  2. In cfg/server_cfg.ini, section [SERVER]: TRACK (track folder in content/tracks), CONFIG_TRACK (track layout, empty otherwise), CARS (car folders, separated by ;) and MAX_CLIENTS.

  3. In cfg/entry_list.ini: one [CAR_0], [CAR_1]… section per slot, with MODEL= one of the cars in CARS.

  4. Start: the console shows the current session and the registration in the game's server list.

Common errors

  • The number of slots cannot exceed the number of pit boxes on the track: if the console reports a slot error, lower MAX_CLIENTS and cfg/entry_list.ini.
  • NAME, PASSWORD, ADMIN_PASSWORD and the ports are replaced at every start by the Server Options: change them in the panel.
How do I add modded cars and tracks?

Upload the mod folders to content/cars or content/tracks, in GamePanelFiles or over SFTP, then select them in cfg/server_cfg.ini and cfg/entry_list.ini. Your drivers need the same mods installed.

  1. Stop the server.

  2. Upload the car folder to content/cars/ and the track folder to content/tracks/, with the same name as in the game.

  3. Set them in cfg/server_cfg.ini (CARS, TRACK) and in cfg/entry_list.ini (MODEL=), then start.

  4. With Content Manager you can prepare the configuration on your PC (Server tab), then upload the cfg files and the content the same way.

Common errors

  • A driver who does not have the mod cannot join the server: send them the mod link.
  • Kunos' official content is already on the server: only mods need uploading.
How do I schedule an automatic restart of my Assetto Corsa server?

A scheduled task restarts the server at a fixed time. Each restart also installs the latest server version.

In the GamePanel

your serverSystemScheduled TasksOpen

  1. GamePanelSystemSchedulesCreate, choose Empty task, Continue, then the name, frequency and time, and Create the task.

  2. On the task page, Create a task: Send a power action, Restart the server, offset 0.

  3. Trigger runs the task right away to try it, restart included.

Common errors

  • Pick a time without races: connected drivers are disconnected during the restart.
