Start Time and Day Discussion

[J@tko]

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 :D). 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.

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

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

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

[J@tko]

The Races will be on Sunday evenings. Please keep voting for the starting time.

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

[dekojester]

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.

Good God!

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?

You should have voted 7pm, the races only take 45 mins if I'm right :shrug:

J@tko you have mail

[J@tko]

Sunday @ 7pm wins it. Thread Closed.

[J@tko]

Ah. I've made a bit of a boo-boo again :(!

Would anyone object to it being moved to 7.30pm? On the first sunday of the month I won't be home till 7.

[JO53PHS]

7:30 would probably be ok but no later! :D

[TG44]

well 7.30 is a bit too late but i might be able to make it... :schwitz:

[JO53PHS]

Could you do 7.15 Jack?

[J@tko]

Could you do 7.15 Jack?

No - but I'll join you a bit late. It's only for two rounds anyway.

And, we might end up with longer quali and 2 races if we keep having more entrants.
