Game servers

A game server that follows your league calendar.

Apex Racing hosts an Automobilista 2 server for your league. Each round runs with its track and cars. Between rounds the server stays on, with the setup of the next round.

What runs on the server?

One clear order, checked every minute.

At each moment the server runs the first match of five rules. You plan rounds and sessions, and the server follows.

How it keeps up

Every minute Apex Racing compares the planned setup with the server.

A session that starts goes on at once, also with drivers on the server.

Any other change waits until nobody drives. “Restart and apply” puts it on now.

Every 30 s Apex Racing checks the server, and restarts it when it hangs.

Always on

Between sessions the server runs the next round or event, so drivers can practise its track and cars.

Looks 14 days ahead

Custom sessions

Any AMS2 setup, from a preset or from the next round, with its own password if you like.

15 min to 12 h, no results

Free practice

Between seasons the server runs the league settings on a weekly track list.

One track each week

Who decides the setup?

The season sets the round. You change what you need.

Three layers make the setup of a round. Each value names its source: League, Season, Event, Override, Custom session or Track of the week.
