Step 2: Download the Car Mod

• Download the car mod file from the official source (usually provided as a .7z file).
• Important: Whenever you click on the link in your initial purchase confirmation or the email update alerts we sent you, you can always access the most recent files of the car or track you purchased (please check your spam folder!).

Step 3: Locate Your Assetto Corsa Directory

• Go to your main Assetto Corsa directory. If you installed the game via Steam, it’s typically located at:
  • "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa"

Step 4: Backup or Delete the Existing Car Folder (For Updates Only)

• If updating a car: Before installing the update, you must delete the existing car folder to avoid conflicts or file corruption.
  1. Navigate to the "content/cars" folder.
  2. Locate the folder for the car you are updating; it is typically named "vrc_[class]_[year]_[brand]_[csp]."
  3. Delete this entire folder.
  Important: Do not skip this step when updating cars.

Step 5: Extract the Car Mod Files

• Open the downloaded .7z.
• Extract its contents into a temporary location (e.g., your desktop).

Step 6: Manually Move Files to the Correct Folder

1. In your extracted car mod folder, locate the folder containing the actual car files.
   • The car/track files can be found inside "AC Files"
2. Copy the entire folder(s).
3. Navigate to your main Assetto Corsa installation folder. (Follow Step 2)
4. Paste the contents inside "AC Files" folder into your main Assetto Corsa installation directory.

Step 7: Install Any Required CSP Features

• If the mod includes custom shader patch (CSP) features, make sure you follow any additional instructions provided in the readme file, such as copying files to specific shader folders.

Step 8: Verify the Installation

• Launch Assetto Corsa using Content Manager.
• Navigate to the car selection menu and ensure the car appears correctly. If it doesn’t appear, verify that all the files were copied correctly and retry the steps if necessary.

Troubleshooting Tips

• Car not appearing: Ensure you’ve placed the car folder directly under "content/cars" without any extra subfolders.
• Missing textures or broken features: Check if any CSP-related files were not copied to the right location. Revisit the installation instructions provided with the car mod to confirm.
