Race Start time.
Assuming we follow the pattern of the
current PC league, & assuming we go to 100% races (instead of 50% races) & assuming these races are still going to take place on a Saturday night same weekend as the real F1...
Currently, uk summer time, 8pm is a little late for my liking, I tend to get bored easily & hate waiting around. Personally I would like to see the races start 1 hour earlier (7 pm UK time). With the current league (2010 - 50%) once the race has finished, I have enough time to get to the pub & get a few pints in.
With the 2011 league @ 100% race length, 8pm start time is going to be a problem, firstly the pub is likely to be shut by the time the race has finished, & more importantly my partner isnt going to be happy about walking home on her own.
Also I think we tend to get mostly European participants, some are on the same time as us, & others are between 1 & 2 hours ahead of us, so summer time that means a start time (their local time) of 9 - 10 pm... for a 100% race, making for a very late finish.
I know we get peeps from everywhere, but the Americas & Asian & Australasian time zones are so far removed from UK time that it takes a particularly commited person to take part & in that respect I wouldnt have thought 1 hours difference would make much difference to them.
Winter time isnt a problem, 19.00 GMT = 7pm winter time, 8pm summer time. It might be an idea to have the races in line with
daylight saving time changes, so in other words, start at
7pm UK winter time (1900 GMT), &
7pm UK summer time (1800 GMT)
