Rally - Rally of Great Britain - Mon 1st & Tues 2nd November 2010

[Senad Subasic]

and you cant use TS in EU? If I will turn it on for you?

Nah, might disturb people around me at night. And I don't think anyone's there. At least nobody was the last time I checked.

ALL DRIVERS PLEASE NOTE:

The Rallyesim Server has now rolled over to the new European Time (non daylight saving time), so you may need to check your Sychronization with RSCenter.
I had to change my GMT/UTC setting (under File/Settings) from +9 to +10 hrs.

You can check to see if it is correct by going to Public Sessions, clicking "Display server hour", this will show the server Hour Time and your PC Clock time.

 

[Rick Bamford]

This should be a good one for the rally championship guys as well.

(just a hint about the final round stages )

Can I get a start time of 11pm mountain Monday? Thank you!

 

[Senad Subasic]

Sure. That's GMT -7, or 6AM GMT, right?

 

[Warren Dawes]

Sure. That's GMT -7, or 6AM GMT, right?

Senad, by my calculations (using Timezone Converter), 11PM Mountain Time USA is 5.00 GMT Tuesday.

Welcome aboard our Rally club Rob, good luck with your first Rally.

I'm going by wikipedia, and this: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=197
15:36:46 MST
22:36:46 GMT

MST = GMT - 7 -> 11PM = 6AM

Which is it?

Also, 6 sessions for 11 drivers, LOL.

 

[Rob Carr]

Thanks Warren and Senad. To syncronize the clock with the server I had to choose GMT-6. It's 4:40pm here now.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Well, I'm confused now, according to my Timezone Converter, there is daylight saving time in effect in USA Mountain on Monday. But according to Senad's link, it suggests that DST may not apply for 2010.
We need someone from USA to confirm the conversion.

EDIT: Which City do you live Rob?

Senad has used Phoenix but my converter used Denver. According to my estimates, they are one hour apart in timezone. ????

 

[Senad Subasic]

You're right Warren. DST in the US ends on the first Sunday of November. They are on summer time for one more week.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Well, I'm going to add an additional Session, RD Great Britain USM, Starting at 5.00 GMT, Tuesday.
I hope that is 11PM Monday, Mountain Time.

If that is not correct for you Rob, you will have to let us know.

 

[Senad Subasic]

5 GMT is right, Phoenix doesn't do DST. Most of the US is in DST one more week.


Bloody DST. So many complications, and no benefits

 

[Aaron DeMarre]

Yeah, Phoenix is smart and does not change time. And you are right about the US DST, we change at 3am Sunday November 7th.

I think you have the times right for the US to GMT calculations:

11pm Monday Mountain = 5am Tuesday GMT = 6am Tuesday server time

 

[Aaron DeMarre]

Actually, I will just run in the second US session. Its a little late for me, but I would rather run with other drivers than solo. Plus it might make juggling sessions easier.

 

[Warren Dawes]

Thanks for the Timezone conversions Aaron, I thought Australia was messy, but the USA may even be worse.

Thanks for swapping Sessions, it does help a bit, and we always prefer to see more drivers grouping together.

 

[Łukasz Demolin]

My health seems to have stopped acting up, so it seems I'll be able to start .

Mmmm.... group A Evo 6...

That it will :thanks:

I've created the US session last night, so I'll leave it be, if you change your mind.
