The proliferation of car mods, plus other types of mods, is both a blessing and a curse to Assetto Corsa. For a fan, like me, while it is great to have new mods to explore, but high quality mods are not so numerous. So how does Kuno expand the appeal of AC while still embrace the mod scene? Well, it would be great if somehow Kuno can facilitate the growth and the improvement of the quality mods. This of course is an collaborative effort.
Possible type of organization may be like TUV, UL or SNELL test lab, or governing bodies like FIA, SCCA or even SAE?

Possible type of organization may be like TUV, UL or SNELL test lab, or governing bodies like FIA, SCCA or even SAE?
Some features may be:
- Mod car approval/classification - A certification board may evaluate and approve high quality mod. Like EMA or FDA approved a drug before it can be sold. Approved car can then get a "sticker/number" and be available in Kuno's "workshop?" for a nominal price? Or maybe the approved mods gets to be treated differently in Overtake/RaceDepartment. There is a market for high quality mod and good modder should benefit from their hardwork.
- Education/Training for modder: Kuno can actively help the modders to develop their ability to create high quality mods by providing training academy of some sort. Or people can elect to take classes or get help from highly skilled Kuno employee/associates. Maybe leverage training and finished mods for purchase.
- Embrace the mod universe by categorizing mods: There are still room for beginner modders and less than perfect mods, but it would be good to have a way to differentiate different level of mods, perhaps as part of the approval process. It would be good to be able to know if a mod is a fantasy/tuned/WIP mod vs. a limited production manufactured street car.
