Hosting an Assetto Corsa server
Assetto Corsa is a racing simulator with a huge amount of community content, and its dedicated servers are used for everything from private leagues to public freeroam and drift servers. This page covers the original Assetto Corsa. Assetto Corsa Competizione has its own separate server tools.
Hosting a race is mostly about content and connection: the server needs the cars and tracks your event uses, and players need to reach it with low latency and a stable connection.
What to compare
- Car and track uploads. Custom content is a big part of Assetto Corsa. Check the host gives you enough storage and an easy way to upload and manage cars, tracks and skins.
- Server manager tools. Many communities use tools such as Content Manager and community server managers to set up sessions, entry lists and rotations. Check the host supports what you plan to use.
- Custom Shaders Patch and extended servers. Popular freeroam and drift servers rely on extended server software and the Custom Shaders Patch. If that is your plan, confirm the host supports it.
- CPU and network quality. Race servers need consistent performance and a stable network, since lag or dropped connections ruin an event.
- Session and config access. Weather, practice, qualifying and race settings, plus entry lists and rules, are configured in files, so direct access matters.
- Storage. Large car and track libraries use a lot of space, so check the plan's storage before you upload.
- Location and DDoS protection. A datacentre near your drivers keeps racing fair, and public servers attract attacks.
