# Starting a race on Your Assetto Corsa server

Information on how to start a race on Your Assetto Corsa Server

## Summary

Assetto Corsa servers include a powerful and user-friendly server manager with a built-in web panel. This tool makes it easy to start races remotely, manage sessions, and switch between cars or tracks quickly. One of the simplest race types to set up is a **Quick Race**, which skips the practice session and jumps straight into qualifying and racing. Quick races can be either time-based or lap-based, providing flexibility for different play styles and event types.
