The Race Manager dashboard is where you start races, run championships, and manage your server. Here's how to get in and what each part of the sidebar does.

Logging in for the first time [#logging-in-for-the-first-time]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Find your web address [#find-your-web-address]

    On the [XGamingServer Panel](https://panel.xgamingserver.com), open your Assetto Corsa server and note its IP and **web port**. The Race Manager lives at `http://YOUR_SERVER_IP:WEB_PORT`.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Open it in a browser [#open-it-in-a-browser]

    Paste the full address — including the port — into any browser. Always use the complete `http://IP:PORT` URL; opening just the IP without the port will not reach the manager.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Log in with the default admin account [#log-in-with-the-default-admin-account]

    The default credentials are:

    ```
    Username: admin
    Password: servermanager
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Change the admin password immediately [#change-the-admin-password-immediately]

    Open the account menu (top right) and set a new password. The manager is reachable over the internet, so changing the default password is the first thing you should do.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Callout type="warn">
  If the page loads but you get logged out right after signing in, you're almost certainly opening it from a different address than the one in the URL bar. Use the exact `http://IP:PORT` address — see [Troubleshooting → login won't persist](/docs/assetto-corsa/troubleshooting).
</Callout>

The sidebar at a glance [#the-sidebar-at-a-glance]

Once you're in, everything is reachable from the left sidebar:

| Section            | What it's for                                                              |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Home**           | Dashboard overview — server status, quick actions, and your championships. |
| **Quick Race**     | Start a race fast with sensible defaults.                                  |
| **Custom Race**    | Build a fully configured event (sessions, weather, entrants).              |
| **Championships**  | Create and manage multi-event series.                                      |
| **Race Weekends**  | Multi-session weekends with progression (premium).                         |
| **Live Timing**    | Watch a running race and control it from the admin panel.                  |
| **Results**        | Browse and combine past session results.                                   |
| **Calendar**       | See scheduled events and subscribe to the feed.                            |
| **Cars / Tracks**  | Browse installed content and upload new cars and tracks.                   |
| **Server Options** | Name, passwords, ports, performance, and lobby registration.               |
| **Accounts**       | Create logins and set read/write/admin permissions.                        |

Who should have access [#who-should-have-access]

The default `admin` account can do everything. For team members, create separate accounts with the right permission level instead of sharing the admin login — see [Accounts & Permissions](/docs/assetto-corsa/accounts-and-permissions).
