iRacing adds more servers to meet the growing demand

from their homepage:
"Over the past couple of weeks, iRacers may have noticed the addition of the letters “E” and “W” to the American flag when checking which servers are hosting their events. With the dramatic expansion of the iRacing user base to more than 170,000 active members, we have added a number of new server farms around the world, ranging from Virginia to Frankfurt, Germany, in order to reduce network latency between drivers competing on opposite ends of the planet.

Sounds like they have the economical muscle to make this reasonable and smart move.
But it also imply the problem about the other game companies when they let it be up to the individual users to offer server capacities.

CatsAreTheWorstDogs: iRacings possibility of creating individual racing leagues for "almost free" on iRacings own servers does display this difference to others even further.;)
