Mexico GP still scheduled for May 6

Sunday, May 6th, 9am EST - as planned. Sorry about the confusion. Eldred p.s. anyone interested in a race at Road Atlanta on Memorial day? -- Dale Earnhardt, Sr. R.I.P. 1951-2001 Homepage - http://www.umich.edu/~epickett F1 hcp. +28.67...F2 +151.26...

Won't make the May 6th date (though I confirmed earlier) as this is really my mum's birthday and, though I'm pretty sure she loves me, I'm not going to get away with not taking her out for a meal Sunday lunchtime and racing online instead. I'll have to pass this one up (don't reschedule on behalf of me, please). As for Road Atlanta, excuse my ignorance, but what date is Memorial day?

I'll be there.... Jens Kruuse is constantly nagging me that he has won an EldredGp and I have not. I'll wipe that smirk of his face when we hit Mexico, my favorite track ;) One little detail though, 9am EST is "European standard time", not something like "Eastern Standard time"... Right ??

Yes, Mikkel, EST is European Standard Time. You just show up at 9 in the morning, and if nobody else is there, the race has been cancelled. We just forgot to tell you. :-) /Jens P.S: Please, please don't anybody tell him that it's actually 15hr00 CEST (Central European Summer Time) P.P.S: That goes for you too, Jan! :-) Mikkel Gram-Hansen wrote:

AHA !!!!!! I smell a conspiracy..... I shall monitor Vroc around the clock the entire week, to ensure my participation in this fabulous event. Thou shalt not smother my dreams of glory and Tequila on the podium with your vile schemes ! In short.... I'll be there. Mikkel Jens H.

"EST" means Eastern Standard Time? I ask because most of the United States is on daylight savings time until October. In the world spanning online games I've played, I've simply gotten used to which event organizers are perennially out of synch, and which ones actually mean what they say. (The ones in Arizona, usually ;) Sadly, it doesn't generally help to express the event time in a coordinated time like UTC because the wrong conversion is used 83% of the time. It makes it really confusing when both local and UTC are specified but because of the conversion error, the times don't actually describe the same time. ;) -- Matthew V.

I couldn't state the time in UTC because I wouldn't know the difference myself.

Probably not a problem for Asbj�rn as he's indicated to being futher up the timezone ladder, but in Europe this means 3pm (i.e. afternoon). The snag, of course, being that May 28th is not a public holiday in Europe. You couldn't possibly start at 2pm EST (8pm Central European Summer Time / 7pm British Summer Time)?

Silly me - I didn't realize it wasn't a holiday in Europe. Yes, 2pm EST is very possible.
