Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our services and features

There are two types of server tenancy: Shared and Dedicated.

  • Shared Servers: Cost-effective but offer lower performance. Suitable for small leagues or non-official practice sessions.

  • Dedicated Servers: Offer higher performance and are subdivided into two tiers:

    • Standard
    • Premium

  • Shared: 500 Mbps network bandwidth. Supports up to 40 connections. Occasional CPU spikes may occur in the ACC client but usually don't impact server performance.

  • Standard: 12.5 Gbps network. Supports 40–60 connections. Slight CPU spikes in ACC client, but stable performance overall.

  • Premium: 25 Gbps network. Supports 40–80 connections. Minimal CPU spikes and highest performance.

Yes, dedicated servers (Standard and Premium) incur bandwidth charges of 0.25 USD per GB. Bandwidth usage is measured and added to your invoice after each race.

ACC does not document exact bandwidth usage. Based on our experience:

  • Solo driver sessions use approximately 0.20 GB/hour per connection.

  • Team races (shared car) scale non-linearly and consume more bandwidth.

  • Hotlap or Race Practice (non-official): Shared server (monthly plan).

  • Small leagues (≤ 20 drivers): Shared (acceptable), Standard (recommended).

  • Medium leagues (≤ 40 drivers): Standard server recommended.

  • Large leagues (40–80 drivers): Premium server recommended.

  • Very large leagues: Contact us for a custom solution.

Yes, shared servers may be affected by other users on the same machine, although this is not common.

Yes, but only for practice servers. Contact us to arrange a plan for Standard or Premium monthly use.

Currently, TheSIMLeague does not support downloading stats directly as CSVs via the admin portal. If you need data from completed events (like past GT3 seasons), reach out to support — we can manually generate and share those files with you.

Driver categories are managed in the main Drivers section here: https://thesimleague.com/league-admin/drivers

  • Updating a driver's category here will only apply to future events they join.

  • Existing or ongoing events will not be updated automatically — you'll need to manually change categories within those event entries.

Practice servers support two modes:

  • Hotlap Mode: Saves lap times, visible on the round's page until the round officially starts.

  • Race Mode (e.g., practice → quali → race): Does not record lap times.

Only Hotlap Mode captures lap times. Running short races post-quali won't save lap data.

The ACC platform only supports one active serverList.json entry at a time and assumes a single server per install. Since our practice servers share common infrastructure, they can't be individually listed using this method.

Yes — you can use ACC Connector, a tool also used by platforms like LFM. It allows you to connect directly to any ACC server using an IP address and port number.

We can post the IP/port for each practice server if there's enough interest.
