This is the thread to discuss the day of the event and the time at which it will take place.

The only days I can really do usually are Saturday, Sunday and Monday. However, I will be away for quite alot of Saturdays in Feb and March so that might not be a good idea.

Start Time: If it's on a Sunday, then we can have it a bit earlier as our American competitors won't be at work/school. (and it won't clash with TG ). If it's on a Monday, then we'll have to have it later as the American's won't be home from work/school.

Please vote once for the time and once for the day. I will delete any extra votes.

Thanks

Please note - I can see both of your choices, i.e Mon @ 8.30 pm.

Series will start 3rd or 4th Feb.

Times later than 8pm i might have to struggle to attend my mum and dad are against this whole "computer thing" but ill do some purswading if we end up at a late time

Sounds familiar.......

It would be really good if the races were on sunday because I have LOADS of homework during the week

The only problem is that I would have to record Topgear and watch it on monday... but thats no problem

Don't worry - when the series is on TG won't be on. (That's why I picked Sundays as a good day :tilt

Quote from TAYLOR-MANIA :

Now, is this Start Time the time we start the actual proper race? Or does the start time also include qualifying time?

We are thinking of this for a timeline (using 1900 GMT as a start time)

1830: Server opens for last-minute practice.
1850: All entrants for that round must be in server or penalties will be levied.
1855: Practice closes.
1900: Qualifications. 15 minutes session.
1922: Race begins.
Between 1915 and 1922 would be a restroom/drink break before the event. There are a couple minutes built in there for anyone who was finishing a flying lap when time expired.

nope, no BBC here, only TG shows are abou one year old... but still better that nothing
and about time- if the race would be 19:00 so it means its 0 GMT, and if I live in +2GMT so it would be 9pm at my place, is that corect?
