In Assetto Corsa, cfg/entry_list.ini lists the car slots on your server. Each [CAR_x] section is one grid slot and says which car (MODEL) and skin (SKIN) it uses. Players pick a free slot when they join. Your FREAKHOSTING server starts with 22 slots (CAR_0 to CAR_21), all bmw_m3_e30 with different skins, while MAX_CLIENTS=18 in server_cfg.ini limits how many players can be on at once.

​
Slots and MAX_CLIENTS

The number of [CAR_x] sections decides which cars are on offer. MAX_CLIENTS decides how many players can be connected at once. With the defaults, 22 slots and MAX_CLIENTS=18, at most 18 players drive at the same time. MAX_CLIENTS can’t be higher than the track’s number of pits.

​
How to reserve a slot for a driver

Put the driver’s SteamID64 (17 digits) in GUID and their name in DRIVERNAME. For a league where only listed drivers may join, add this line under [SERVER] in cfg/server_cfg.ini:
With it, only players already in the entry list can join.

​
How to give a car ballast

Set BALLAST in kg, for example BALLAST=30. You can also add ballast during a session with the /ballast admin command.

​
Frequently asked questions

​
Why can only 18 players join when there are 22 slots?

MAX_CLIENTS=18 in server_cfg.ini limits connected players. Raise it if the track has enough pits.

​
How do I offer several cars?

Add slots with different MODEL values and list every car in CARS. See custom cars.

​
What is GUID in entry_list.ini?

The player’s Steam ID (SteamID64). Leave it empty for open slots.
