I'm pretty sure I seen some advertisement on speed that suggests that it will follow the alms race. The schedule also shows the preview show is on at 11:30pm on for the 15th so I imagine that it will be on at 12:00am and be replayed at 1:30pm.

Isn't this one of the races that CBS bought ?
If so , it explains the delay .

Well I'm positive that I seen some adverts for it to follow the 12 hours of sebring on speed, but judging from the speedtv schedule, there will be some filler in between. 11:30pm est pre-race.

I cross referenced it with TSN's schedule, and they have race start at 12:00am est, So does that mean donaldson and co aren't doing a pre-race show this year?

Ok, CBS is listing it at 12:30 AM, 16th March on Speed. Contrary to what Speed has listed. I'm much more relaxed now. Thanks fellows.

Cool, guess that probably means Speed is probably doing a 1 hour pre-race show or a 30 min season preview show followed by a 30min pre-race show... Guess TSN will still have their 30 min pre-race show.

And just think, and for some on the west coast, pre-race is 9:00pm on a friday night, which from what I understand is the time when beer taste the best :p :

Tazio: Sunday 12:00am eastern time on the 16th = 9:00 pm pacific time on the 15th

They are going to show a replay of qualifying on the same day:

Speedtv will show Friday Practice (Thursday Feb 13th at 11pm)

And will show Saturday Qualifying live (Friday Feb 14th also at 11pm)

Read it now, and understand it later!

12:01:00 p.m. Sunday March 16, 2008 in Australia/Melbourne converts to
09:01:00 p.m. Saturday March 15, 2008 in US/Eastern
This just keeps getting more confusing!
Can I get an official ruling?

9:00PM 3/15/08 U.S. Pacific time, translates to 12:00am 3/16/08 U.S Eastern Time! That is
