    The times displayed for rF2 competitions are always in CET/CEST time zone. So yeah it's usually too early for most in US and Canada.
     
  8. As Bill says all of our races (posted times) are in CET/CEST as per rules. So yeah the races are -6 for you, so 14 (2pm)
    That does not sound right - 2:30 saturday, that means you are more than 2 days behind, no idea what timezone that is :D
    Name is changed

    Every one:

    And you don't even need to pre qualify if you don't mind being in the lowest split.

    What realroad and other servers settings are used for the Formula Challenge prequalifying sessions?
     
  19. Specify which other server settings that is usually important to know that is not mentioned.
    Heavy is the rubber, as any other session during the season.
