Here are the approximate start times for selected notable events over the coming weekend. Schedules are subject to change and my timezone calculations which may be wrong.. I’ve focussed on events that can be seen live on TV (or at least same-day), please feel free to point out anything else worth watching that I may have missed, such as highlights shows. If you could also let me know any errors I’ll fix them, thanks.
Technical note – Races starting not long after midnight have been listed under the preceding day; e.g. the IndyCar race at Texas. I’ve found people only look at races happening a few hours ahead of the time they check, so if they look on Saturday (and are willing to stay up) but don’t see anything listed they miss it, because they don’t check Sunday until the day is halfway through.
