Setting Up Server Entry Requirements (Car Classes, Rating, and Restrictions) in Assetto Corsa

To ensure a balanced and competitive racing experience, you can configure entry requirements for your Assetto Corsa server. These settings allow you to restrict access based on driver rating, limit car selections, and enforce safety rules to maintain fair play.

This guide will walk you through configuring car class restrictions, setting up driver rating requirements, and enforcing entry rules using VolticHost Game Panel.

📌 Prerequisites

• An Assetto Corsa server purchased at VolticHost.com

• Access to VolticHost Game Panel

• Knowledge of server configuration files

1️⃣ Restricting Car Classes on Your Server

If you want players to only use specific cars or car classes, you need to modify the entry_list.ini file.

1. Log in to VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Navigate to File Manager.

3. Open the following file:

   /cfg/entry_list.ini
   

4. To allow only specific cars, modify or add the following lines:

   [CAR_0]
   MODEL=ks_porsche_911_gt3
   SKIN=00_black
   
   [CAR_1]
   MODEL=ks_ferrari_488_gt3
   SKIN=01_red
   

5. Save the file and restart the server.

✅ Your server will now only allow selected cars!

2️⃣ Setting Minimum Driver Ratings for Entry

To ensure only experienced drivers can join, you can configure rating and safety restrictions in server_cfg.ini.

1. Open:

   /cfg/server_cfg.ini
   

2. Locate the following section and modify:

   MIN_SAFETY_RATING=75  // Minimum safety rating (0-100)
   MIN_TRACK_COMPETENCE=80  // Minimum track competence rating (0-100)
   

3. Save the file and restart the server.

✅ Only drivers with the required rating will now be able to join!

3️⃣ Enforcing Ping Limits and Latency Control

To prevent laggy players from affecting races, set maximum ping limits in server_cfg.ini:

1. Open:

   /cfg/server_cfg.ini
   

2. Find and modify the following:

   CLIENT_SEND_INTERVAL_HZ=20
   MAX_CLIENTS=24
   KICK_HIGH_PING=200  // Players exceeding 200ms ping will be kicked
   

3. Save and restart the server.

✅ Players with high latency will now be auto-kicked!

4️⃣ Restarting the Server to Apply Changes

1. Navigate to the Console tab in VolticHost Game Panel.

2. Click Stop to shut down the server.

3. Wait a few seconds, then click Start to launch the updated server.

✅ Your Assetto Corsa server is now running with entry restrictions!

🎉 Conclusion

You've successfully restricted car classes, enforced rating requirements, and set latency limits using VolticHost Game Panel! Your server is now optimized for fair and competitive racing. 🚀
