The short answer
Content Manager does not work with Assetto Corsa EVO. It was written for the original Assetto Corsa (2014), and EVO is a different game: a new engine, a new mod format and a new multiplayer. Custom Shaders Patch is in the same situation: it extends the original game’s graphics, and EVO has its own.
For Assetto Corsa EVO, EvoForge covers what drivers used Content Manager for: installing mods, browsing cars and tracks, a 3D showroom, preparing races, multiplayer and dedicated servers, plus a community side. It is an independent project, with no link to Content Manager’s author or to Kunos Simulazioni.

A quick tour
Library and 3D showroom
Drop a mod anywhere in the window and it joins your library next to the game’s own cars. Open any car in the showroom to look at it from every angle, sit in the cockpit and switch liveries before you pick it for a race.
Race setup
Choose the track, time of day, weather and your grid of opponents, on a screen or in VR, then launch the game straight into your session. Save the race to run it again, or export it as a file for your friends.
Multiplayer and servers
Browse servers from the app and see which ones your friends are on. When a server uses cars you do not have, EvoForge downloads them from the host. Members can host their own dedicated server in a few clicks.
The Paddock
See which friends are driving and join them in one click, design your helmet and profile, run a team with its nights and shared setups, or a club with events and championships.
Free or member
EvoForge is free to download and to play: installing mods, the library and showroom, solo races, multiplayer and the whole Paddock. A Patreon membership, from €5 a month, unlocks the workshop, AC1 conversion and server hosting, and funds the project.
