2016 VEC General discussion.

Take it away.

What time are the races

Same question as Joito.. I'd love to join as Endurance is my favorite, but what time are the races?

They typically start around 3pm GMT on Saturdays. The next race is August 20th around Watkins Glen.

Thanks for quick reply! So thats 11:00am Eastern time.. Is there a "looking for drivers" type thread setup anywhere?

I can do that for you. I think that's 10am EST? I am in Toronto so operate on EST.

I think because of daylight saving time GMT is 4 hours ahead of Eastern time right now.. when I google "GMT EST" it says 4 hours difference.. so, 11am I think.

I can guarantee that if you hop online at 11am on raceday, you will have missed the first hour of stint 1

I don't bother with converting GMT- If you're in UK/Ireland, you start at 3:00pm.
If you're in Western/Central Europe- you start at 4:00pm
If you're on the east coast US/Canada/some of the Caribbean- 10:00am
West Coast US/Canada- 7:00am

Got it! So it's 3pm BST, not 3pm GMT.

3pm BST = 10am ET, thank you!

Yes 5 hour difference all remaining VEC rounds are 3pm UK time.

I see the return of the Alpine at the Glen.

Hope it has a little more for the Pork than it did at Spa!!

Will there be a doc to see who's sign up for the race and stuff like TEC

I use this site to help with time zones

easy to read maps and updates automatically with DST

Hypno Cat!!!!!!

When will the Watkins Glen qualy and all that jazz be up? I dont know if its my phone or not but this only has 2 threads I can see.

Why has the ban been lifted for Watkins Glen on the LMP1 Porsche ??

My guess is that since the entirety of the LMP1 field is the Porsche, there's no need to have a handicap on it. Just a guess though.

^^ that I believe is the reasoning.

Qualifying threads should be up tomorrow, that's what Martin has just told me.

Yes tomorrow

Erm, hate to burst bubbles but we will be running a Rebellion so I hope the rule can be reinstated

What's the handicap on the Rebellion. .... case dismissed .

I believe this now clashes with the FRC Elite cup #2, so quite a few people will probably be missing.

You have lost me there mate

Rebellion won't have a handicap either, per Martin.

Ahhh i misunderstood
