A short mid-season situation update on AMS2 on LFM

I'm happy to report that after six weeks of current season wrapped up, the situation with AMS2 on LFM is looking brighter than it has in the a while (it was pretty grim in the end of the last season and the start of this one tbh).

Daily Dazzle (only daily racing series with differen car/class and track each week) got a small scheduling change, now with races once an hour (starting every XX:00) helped players to find each other better. Players seem to be pretty happy with the concept with changing also the car each week (I know it's not for everyone, but I personally thing it fit and brings out the strenghts of AMS2 and it's varied content better than running single car/class daily series for full seasons). Daily series requires tons of players though and with small MP player base of AMS2 don't expect there to be bigger grids all the time, but at least there is now some good races every day!

Norschleiffe Sprint Cup (55min races with 3x tire wear on GT3gen2 + GT4, 2 races each week) has been quite popular with every single race having pretty good participation.

GT3 Endu (45mins, 2x tire wear/fuel consumption, 3 races each week) get's also consistent good participation in every single race.

(note! all of the above are available with rookie licence).

Porsche Historic Endurance (60mins, 2x tire wear/fuel consumption, 2 races each week) has also good grids every single race and it's just been pure joy to drive on those historic tracks every single time. Players have enjoyed this one a lot too.

Formula Hybrid Series (30 laps, 2 a races each week) has had moderate success with participation from race to race. The car is for sure more challenging to drive, but also very very rewarding at the same time. I personally have done almost all the races and even with some bigger skill gaps between players, the races have been super clean and exciting. I really hope more brave souls would be giving it a chance and also give reason to run these F1 series in future! It's good time to try with Spa as the track of this week!

Stock car USA Series (50L - 30L depending on track, 4 races each week) always get's participation on the earlier Friday race and occasionally also on some of the other (late European time) races if it's been a oval track that week. It used to have a forced FCY mid race, but it was removed as it didn't lead to that good races.

There is also Indy 100 special event coming up next weekend that has already plenty of people signed up!

If a you want to AMS2 to build a better and bigger MP player base and healther MP scene, it's now good time to give it a go / come back to LFM (and don't forget leagues too!)

ps. I'm not a part of LFM crew, but I'm helping them with planning these seasons for AMS2
