I was also asking around with rack service about this. They told me that we can just configure one of our server from demo to S2, but we will only have 15 connections. This is the best we can do in such short notice. I already mess a little with our Historic GTi server and turned it into S2 event. If you guys can see if it's there and if the track is WE2R, 5 laps with GT2 cars I'd appreciate it. Right now I'm at work and can not connect to lfs master server from this network, because it is blocked by the firewall.

To update. Currently, we have 6 demo servers, each 15eur/year, paid until end of April 2020. We also have an additional 90eur on our balance, which will cover another year. The cost for 47 player connections server is 24eur/year. In principle, if we close 2 demo servers (2x15 con), we can open an S2 (47 con) and we will actually lower the cost by 6eur/year.
We can, for now, try our 15 connections S2 server and organize some pilot events. See how that goes and then next year we might do the change, where we will have 1 S2 server to operate every day, with occasional events. The sky is the limit, but we would really need someone dedicated to set it up and maintain it when needed afterward.
I couldnt find AA Historic GTi on the server list, btw you did exactly what I had in mind, 15 connection S2 server.
I personally think that since some of the demo servers dont get usage it might be worth trying to close them in order to open S2 server.
