Manual session control

How does this work?

The dedicated server is always in one stage of a cycle: Lobby → Practice → Qualifying → Race → Results → Lobby. When you "Apply preset", the new track / car / rules are stored, and:

If the server is currently in Lobby (idle), the new settings apply immediately.
If a Practice / Qualify / Race is currently running, the new settings are queued and apply when the current race ends and the server cycles back to Lobby.

Use the buttons below to force the server through stages without waiting. End session & back to lobby is the "panic stop" — kill what's running, drop everyone back to lobby with whatever the latest applied settings are.

Lap admin / re-assign drivers →

Tip: if your "Apply preset" or "Advance" doesn't seem to do anything (server stays in same state), use Restart dedicated server. This bounces the underlying process and the queued settings take effect cleanly.

Custom race setup

Pre-filled from last applied: Anton Default — Silverstone National · Ford RS1600 (Racing) (baked into sms_rotate). Tweak any field, click Apply.

Track & car Track (type to filter — 135 tracks) Car class (use this OR specific car below) Specific car (overrides class — locks everyone to one model)

Format Practice length (minutes; 0 to skip) Qualifying length (minutes; 0 to skip) Race length (laps; 0 = no race / hot-lap mode) Grid size (TOTAL cars on track including AI) Max human players (AI fills the gap up to grid size)

AI Fill empty slots with AI cars AI difficulty (0–100; 87 is hard but fair)

Note: PC2's AI aggression is host-side only — the dedicated server doesn't expose it. The default is "Medium". Set on each player's local game.

Time of day & date Race start hour (0–23) Year Month Day

Weather progression (1–4 slots play out across the race) How many weather phases? Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 3 Phase 4

With 4 phases on a 60min race: each phase is ~15min. Weather transitions smoothly between them.

Realism / sim settings Damage Tyre wear Fuel usage Penalties

Driver assists allowed ABS allowed Stability control allowed Traction control allowed Auto-start engine Allow custom car setups

How to apply Force restart now — kick everyone back to lobby + start new race immediately. Uncheck to queue for the next lobby (current race finishes naturally first).

Tips & behaviour

Auto-loop: When a race finishes, the dedicated server returns to the lobby with the SAME settings, then re-runs qualifying → race. So clicking Apply once gives you continuous race night.
Weather changes during race: set "Weather slots" to 2–4. Each slot is a weather state; the game smoothly interpolates between them across the race.
AI difficulty 87+: hard but achievable. AI aggression is set per-player in the local game; the server can't override it.
Top Gear "Reasonably Priced Car": use the Top Gear preset, lock the car (e.g. Renault Clio Cup, BMW 1M, Ford Escort RS1600), set Practice = 60min Race = 0 — pure hot-lap leaderboard.
Mid-race changes: if a race is in progress, your changes are queued and apply when the lobby returns.
Connection error after Apply: the dedicated server takes ~10s to restart between sessions; just wait and the live status badge will go green again.
