I might try get on for this, now your off Daylight saving and Oz is on DLS. If my calculations are correct, if the race is starting at 8.50pm for you it should be starting 7.50am for us. A nicer time then 6.50am.
I will try to make it, but I cutted loose a part of my left index finger 1h30mins ago, so I need to try to find a solution for how I can drive safely with one hand. If I'm unable I will not show.
