Whoa 12 AM PST, so 3 AM EST qualifiers. I guess I'll be watching that on replay lol.

I knew it would be late, but I didn't realize they'd bend over that hard to accommodate European market.

I guess us n USA need to remember we are still the minority in this sport πŸ€ͺ

It's funny because most start times feel they've been shuffled around to accommodate US viewers, many start around 8a-11a EST. But on home turf, 3am it is!

I think FOM have got themselves in a difficult position because they wanted a night race for the spectacle (so much more important than the racing). But doing it on the western side of America makes it tricky time-wise for their biggest audience. The ultra-late racing is probably a compromise that'll please no one.

I'm on Pacific time and even I'm considering just watching the replay

Very confusing to see everything a day early until I realised what they've done to deal with time zones! Race is 8am UTC, i.e. Sunday morning.

Yikes!… but then again it’s Las Vegas.

I get more of a lie-in than I did for Suzuka!
