GB3K Start time? - Matt - 2013-08-06 03:56
Hey,
About 5 years ago, to my knowledge, the first Gumball 3000 started at 12:00pm (Midday) with a huge grid on the main straight.
I'm wondering, will this be the case this year? Or will it be from midnight going into Friday?
I'm wondering as I'm currently attempting to plan my sleeping patterns for the event.
And as it hits 5am, I'm gonna go to bed. (G'night)

This year it's one minute before midnight. At least for some people around the planet.
I've never been a fan of the Gumball schedule as it caused way too many confusions in the past.
So here the this years issue:
As no timezone was given, I assume it's British Summer Time (BST).
So the given times converts to the following:
Start times:
Fri 9th August - 11:59pm BST
Fri 9th August - 23:59 BST (24h format)
Fri 9th August - 22:59 UTC
Sat 10th August - 00:59 CEST (eg Germany, France)
Fri 9th August - 18:59 EDT (eg New York)
Sat 10th August - 08:59 AEST (eg Sydney)
Finish times:
Fri 23rd August - 11:59pm BST
Fri 23rd August - 23:59 BST (24h format)
Fri 23rd August - 22:59 UTC
Sat 24th August - 00:59 CEST (eg Germany, France)
Fri 23rd August - 18:59 EDT (eg New York)
Sat 24th August - 08:59 AEST (eg Sydney)
