Reiza, please take a lot at this. Multiplayer really is in need of more love.

    I'd like to share this video from MetzVR channel and I'd like the Reiza team to take a look at it.

    MetzVR is small content creator from UK focused on racing games, especially AMS2. He has been hosting a lot of races during the weeks and bigger events on weekends.
    I saw a video or two from him during the last months, nothing special. But what really got my attention was during the Daytona 24H event. More specifically on the Sunday, after the race, MetzVR hosted his own mini version of the event. Thing is one lobby was not enough. He had to open a second one and both raced at max players simultaneously. This means that more than 60 people were racing in this game. And remember, it's just a small YouTube channel.
    MetzVR has been hosting a lot of events ever since. During the weekends he always need to open a secondary lobby 'cause more than 32 people want to race it. Sometimes it's 40, sometimes it's 50.

    In my personal opinion, this is one of the best examples of how much this game is loved and how far it can go with a good multiplayer.

    The problem is that he's having a lot of trouble sometimes. When it works it works. But sometimes it won't and it's very frustrating. Just watch to video to see what happens.
    I myself have a problem sometimes when I'm hosting a race and a certain track is not available to choose in the lobby menu, even if I and all the other players have that DLC.

    The point of this topic is just to show you this video.
    The game is in a very good state now. Lots of tracks, lots of cars, physics and AI behaviour getting better with every new update. But I think the multiplayer was left behind; I'd go as far to say that the multiplayer is what's holding back the game right now.
    I'm not a programmer. I know nothing about coding and making videogames. But I'd assume that a lot of these problems have been carried over from PCARS2 and that it might be very hard and time consuming to fix them, if they can be fixed.
    But even so I wanted you guys to see this video, just so you can see how much potential this game has with a more polished multiplayer. Please, give multiplayer more attention. And if it's possible, work on it, make it better, more stable and more enjoyable.
    Maybe someday we could even host a 6-12-24 hours race, swapping drivers with real players, who knows.

    Here's the video.
    Reiza, I'd like you to pay attention especially from 9:00 to 10:38.

    Here's the Daytona 24 video I've mentioned. Two full lobbies racing simultaneously.

    Race starts at 1:36:00.
