As timezones are always a hot issue with organising league events, I have created this thread to try and explain the times of Formula500 Events.
Firstly, the FBM Demo Series:
This series runs at 6pm BST (British Summer Time) Please read below.

According to the image above, London Time is currently within BST. Now BST is GMT+1 Hour. At the current time UTC is 1 hour behind London Time.
One way of remembering this is to note that UTC is the same as GMT.
Please note that during the summertime, the United Kingdom is not on GMT. It is on BST, which is the same as GMT+1.
ALL FORMULA500 TIMES POSTED ARE POSTED IN BST. (GMT+1/UTC+1).
So, with reference to the F504D FBM Demo Series, which start time is 6pm (18:00) BST. Its UTC start time is 1 Hour Behind.
From this, and the website linked to above, you should be able to work out your local start time.
