This makes a point for the former argument to be the case too.īut, enough about F1. When looking at the daily (non-peak) average, however, the effect these F1 races had on activity was negligible, with 4 distinct peaks forming on the weekends. The activity of F1 2022 during those weekends seems to make a point for the latter. Either because they are watching the race or because they are reenacting the race in F1 2022. This means that an F1 race causes at least a loss of 500 players during peak hours. In the weekends without an F1 race, the player activity peaked at 5510 (Sunday, March 12th) and 5652 (Sunday, March 26th), with the latter being the highest peak of March. In these weekends, the peak player count did not reach 5000 players.
The first, March 4th-5th, in Bahrain, and the second, March 18th-19th in Saudi Arabia. 2 of which saw an evening (for EU timezones) F1 race. And especially if the race is held during those peak hours. While this is largely unrelated to ACC itself, it does have an impact on its player activity, especially during peak hours. In March, Formula 1 started for its 2023 season.
