Outside of iRacing, Assetto Corsa Competizione is one of the most popular racing sim titles for competitive online multiplayer. A lot of its popularity comes from its integration with Low Fuel Motorsport. LFM provides a free platform to compete in various series, through scheduled seasons.
This format is very similar to how iRacing operates, with different license ranks to earn and series to compete in. But how do you set up Assetto Corsa Competizione with LFM? In this guide, I’ll run through how to start sim racing in ACC with LFM in a few easy steps.
Getting started with LFM
Joining Low Fuel Motorsport is free to do, although there is a little setup process required before you can start competing.
You’ll need to create your free account and then complete a license test before you can start competing against other sim racers. The license test ensures you are fast enough to race on the LFM servers, and I’ll talk about this more later in this guide.

What is LFM (Low Fuel Motorsport)
If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably aware of what Low Fuel Motorsport is, however, for those new to LFM and sim racing, lets have a look.
LFM is an independent competitive multiplayer platform for sim racing. They feature a range of series and leagues, allowing sim racers to compete against similarly skilled sim racers. Good results will improve your ELO which is a ranking factor, and allow you to move up the standings across a 12 week season.
If you’re new to ACC or LFM, I’d recommend reading our complete guide on Low Fuel Motorsport for ACC. In that guide, I run through all parts of how LFM works including the licenses, series, seasons, elo and more.
What you need to start in LFM
To get started competing in LFM, you’ll need to have or do the following things:
- Have Assetto Corsa Competizione installed on your PC: Unfortunately, LFM doesn’t support the Xbox or PS5 versions of ACC, so you’ll need to be racing on a PC.
- Register with Low Fuel Motorsport: Sign up for a free account and link your Discord to your profile.
- Optional – Download the ACC Connector app: This will let us launch into sessions quicker.
- Complete the ACC license test: Join the LFM test server and complete the license test. You’ll need to complete 7 consecutive laps with an average lap time faster than 107% of the track record. It sounds tricky, but this is easier than you think as long as you’re consistent.
- Choose a series to join: Once you have completed all of the steps above, you’ll have earned your rookie license and be elegible to compete in various series.
Completing the license test
The trickiest part of getting started with Low Fuel Motorsport is the license test. This is designed to ensure all sim racers are of a competent level. There are two LFM test servers available, and the track rotates occasionally. This means that if you really can’t beat the license test, you may be able to after the track changes.
The goal of the license test is to complete 7 consecutive clean laps, with an average lap time faster than 107% of the track record. This means you can’t go off track, otherwise this will break your 7 lap run. At the end of your successful run, you will see within LFM that you’ve earned your license.
If you fail the license test, you can retry it as much as you need. You can even stay in the same session, constantly lapping until you reach 7 consecutive laps at the right speed.

Installing the ACC Connector tool
LFM utilise the ACC Connector app, designed by “LoneMeow”. This tool is designed to quickly get you into the right server without having to search for it within Assetto Corsa Competizione’s server list. It is completely optional whether you use the app or not, but from experience, it definitely makes joining sessions that little bit easier.
To install the LFM ACC Connector app, follow the steps below;
- Download the app from GitHub, the download link is here.
- Double click on the .exe file to install the app, and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Once installed, open the app, click “settings“, then set you ACC install directory. This is important as it will link the app to ACC on your PC.
- Then, back on the main dashboard, click the button that says “Install Hook“. This will link the app to your game, readying it to be used.
- Head over to the LFM website, choose the session you wish to join, and then click the button that says “Join server (ACC-Connector needed)“
- Click “OK” on the first popup, then click “Open app” from the browser pop-up. This will direct you to the app.
- You will now see the server added to the ACC Connector app.
- Head back into ACC, head into the multiplayer menu, and click “LAN Servers” at the top of the screen. You will now see your server listed, which you can easily join.
- After the session finishes, head back into the ACC Connector app and remove the server. If you have finished racing completely, click the “Remove hook” button to break the connection between the app and ACC.
