DIY - Custom AI Races, with optional penalties!

You can pretty easily create your own 'Special Event' race while being able to adjust the following parameters:



-Track

-Number of laps

-Car

-Number of opponents

-Per-opponent difficulty, car, texture

-Penalties



You just go into "<path_to_steam>\Steam\steamapps\common\assettocorsa\content\specialevents\" and copy an existing race, I used SPECIAL_EVENT_25 (the BMW Group A race) as a base.



Make a copy of the entire SPECIAL_EVENT_25 folder and give it a name like SPECIAL_EVENT_99 (change this number for each new event you create).



Edit the event.ini file inside your new event folder. Under [SPECIAL_EVENT] make sure to set GUID=99 (or whatever number you used).



Change the Name of the event to something you'll recognize.



Penalties:

Under [LAP_INVALIDATOR] set ALLOWED_TYRES_OUT=4 to disable penalties completely for your new Special Event.



Laps:

To change the number of laps in the race under [SESSION_0] you can modify LAPS=10 to the number you desire.



Player Car:

Under [RACE] set MODEL=bmw_1m (see list of cars below)

Note that the AI will use the player car unless otherwise specified. The AI does not know how to drive all the cars in the game yet, apparently. I tried setting up a race with the Ferrari F40 on Monza and the results were comical.



Track:

Under [RACE] set TRACK=monza (see list of tracks below)
