Calendar

In order to watch too much racing you will need to know when it happens. Keep up with your favourite racing series by adding these calendars to your Google Calendar, Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook, or any other service which supports the ICAL or HTML formats.

Just click the link for the racing series you want to import and it will appear in your calendar.

If you use Google or iCal the updates should appear automatically without needing to do any more.
If you download and import them into an offline calendar you will need to update them from time to time.

Scroll down to the table below to pick your championships!

Scroll beneath the table for reasons you should use these calendars!

Email Alerts Broken

Part of the functionality of Google Calendar is to be notified by email whenever there is a change to a calendar. This seems to be broken. Every time I add a date to F1 or MotoGP I get a load of emails saying the notification email has been blocked. There is no error message included and I have no idea why it is doing it.

Calendar List

Each series has a header and three items underneath the header:

  • Link to series website for latest news and weekend timetable.
  • ICAL link.
  • HTML link.

For iCal (iPhone, iPad, Mac) – and possibly others:
Copy the ICAL link. Open iCal and find Add Calendar and choose Add Subscription Calendar, then paste the link into the box.
ICAL is not restricted to Apple devices, try it on others.

For Google Calendar:
Click the HTML link then click the +GoogleCalendar icon at the bottom right.

Other:
Try both links and pick the one that works best for your app.

Apps work differently:

  • Some apps subscribe to real time updates, this means when I change a date it will update for you as well. Google Calendar does this.
  • Other apps download the data one time only and you will need to come back here to get the most recent files.

I recommend Google Calendar, it’s what I use to create these calendars and it updates your list as soon as I pr ess Save on an event.

Why Use These Calendars?

June 2015 IWTM Calendar with 21st selected.
June 2015 IWTM Calendar with the 14th selected. (click for large)

 

Agenda for 21st June 2015
Agenda for 13th June 2015 and the following few days (click for large)

I’ve been updating these since the 2011 racing season. Many decisions have been taken with experience, such as to make the usability the best it can be and to reduce the admin overhead. I listen to feedback but that doesn’t mean I’ll implement it!

One championship or series = One calendar

Customise Colours
In Google Calendar you can colour-code each championship, e.g. red for F1, purple for bikes, green for endurance, brown for off-road. Or anything you like!

Races Only
Races are why we are all here. Practice sessions clutter the feed meaning you can’t find the races. Trust me, I’ve tried. Clarity is better.

Dates, Not Times
Sorry, it is a big job track race times. Unfortunately these aren’t always released when the dates themselves are released which means I would have to check them every week. I don’t have the time in my personal life to dedicate to this for 30+ series on a weekly basis. I see my job as telling you what weekend a race is happening and leave it to you to check the start time and timezone conversion.

No TV Times
I don’t know where you live!

Event Titles
Event titles are as consistent as possible. A shortened series name followed by the event name and sometimes a comment.

F1 – Singapore Grand Prix
IndyCar – 106th
Indianapolis 500
WEC – 24 Heures du Mans
GTWC Europe – Hockenheim (3hr)
NASCAR Cup – Blu-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 (Martinsville)

I try to keep the correct name where I can but these entries need to be readable on mobile, so I will shorten them or make them easier to read.

If the race is just a sponsor name I will include the track to make it easier to know that the Blu-Emu Maximum Pain Relief 500 is at Martinsville. I know it’s in the location field as well but let’s make life easy.

Multiple races on the same day will have a comment, e.g.
28 Aug – BTCC – Thruxton (3 races)

Series that have standalone races on different days will have two entries, e.g.
3 Dec – Repco Supercars – Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 R1 (250km)
4 Dec – Repco Supercars – Boost Mobile Gold Coast 500 R2 (250km)

Rallies and endurance races get one entry for the entire event. This includes the Creventic 24H Series, which often runs the first few hours on a Friday, throws a yellow and parks up overnight, then runs the rest of the race the next morning.

‘Misc’ Calendar
Catch-all. It includes such things as the Dakar Rally, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Isle of Man TT, Nurburgring 24 Hours and anything else that pops into my head.

‘Other Sport’ Calendar
I made this for my own benefit for the Olympics & Paralympics. I like to know that I’m not going to miss the Tour de France or the Six Nations! It is heavily biased toward sports I watch, isn’t updated very often and maybe it should be private, I just thought it might help other people know when the clashes are.

  1. No, it was my mistake Pat. I had been looking at the Bathurst 12 Hour website and there was no mention of the GTWC Australia or IGTC on there, so I mistakenly thought it was a standalone event. You’ve included it before on the IGTC calendar, so I’m sure you’ll get to it when you update that for this year. Thanks again.

  2. It turns out I put it in a tracking spreadsheet but not in the calendar! I thought I was being clever putting it in so I could do the rest later, but I forgot to do the important bit.
    Anyway I’m pushing to get single seaters done by Friday, then NASCAR, then all the GT.

  3. Thanks for all the recent updates Pat.

    Just noticed a possible typo though. The IGTC – ADAC Ravenol 24H Nürburgring is on the wrong date. Should be 1-2 June.

  4. I’m expecting to complete every remaining series in the next two weeks.

    The exception might be the NLS (VLN) due to the ongoing dispute with the new series. I will have to let that one play out.

  5. SRO things:I’ve updated the three GT World Challenge calendars and two GT4 calendars.

    For the first time, I’ve included GT America – the single-driver series for GT2, GT3 and GT4 cars – within the GT World Challenge America calendar. I wanted to include it without going to the bother of creating a whole new calendar. But maybe it is a better located with GT4 America so all the ‘support races’ are away from the main series? Thoughts?

    I’ve not included GT2 Europe but I’m thinking of putting it in with GT4 Europe.

    For GTWC Asia, I included the Japan Cup (for GT2 , GT3 and GT4 cars) in with the main series, even though the races are separate this year. Perhaps I will split it next year.

  6. I think keeping GT America in the GTWC America calendar is fine.

    GTWC Asia is the best place for Japan Cup series too.

    If you’d like to round out the GTWC family of events, you could include GTWC Australia, but I’ve created my own small calendar anyway, so either way I’m fine.

    Just saw DTM and Super GT too. Thanks for those.

  7. Sorry to be a nuisance, but maybe the World Rally Raid Championship would be a good one to add, as well as F1 Academy? The Dakar rally is part of it, and it’s FIA & FIM sanctioned, so it’s decently big.

  8. Regarding FIA Rally Raid, yes I did consider this before – and arguably if I have Extreme E then I should have this as well. I hadn’t quite realised what has been going on in the rally-raid arena after the Dakar Series went away. This new series looks promising. Thanks for the idea, I have added this one.

    For F1A, the lowest level on the junior ladder that I cover is F3. I don’t want to get involved in all the F4 series. I also think we should learn from the demise of W Series, which was trying to be bigger than it was and I got sucked into that as well. F1A needs to be an F4 series first, without all the promo and the hype, and so I don’t think it should get treated differently to any other F4 series either because of the good work it is doing or because of the F1 link.

  9. Update 20th Feb: I’ve updated as much as I can.

    I’m not confident about TCR World Tour at the moment. They cancelled the World Final that was due to be in Portimao in March, they just cancelled the Australian rounds for 2024, so for now I have left that out.

    I can’t find a source for Rallycross and they had serious problems last year after the fire at Lydden Hill, so I’ll check back on that in a couple of weeks.

    I’m deliberately leaving VLN/ NLS until right before the season. They were awarded a number of weekends but I haven’t seen it confirmed which are theirs and which are going to the new series (if the new series runs). And I haven’t decided whether to include the new series.

    I’ll be checking back on all these things in a couple of weeks, when I will be verifying the existing TBAs and TBCs.

    Other than that, thanks everyone for your support for another year!

    I might quietly update the ‘Other Sport’ calendar if I think about it, seeing as it is an Olympic year!

  11. Hi Pat, I know it’s a bit late, and I’m not really sure what series you would classify it under, if any, but do you think the Porsche Supercup could be added to the calendar. I know it’s a one-make series, so may not be possible, but it’s an F1 support series so it’s kinda big-ish I guess : )

  12. Hi Pat!

    Once again, I would like to thank you for the great work you do!

    I have already read that it is very time consuming for you to put the time of the races on the calendar, however, for F1 and Moto GP, they are published at the same time as the dates. In my opinion, I think it could be easily done, but I can be wrong.

    On the other hand, it is very easy to ask for things, so I also wonder if there is a way to help you editing these calendars.

    Thank you very much!
    Best regards!

  13. HELL OF A JOB! Thank you, man. I added the categories I watch to my Google Calendar but i’ve also bookmarked this page so I can lookup in case I have spare time to watch anything else. PS: you don’t need to know everybody’s time zone cause calendars (at least all I know) automatically change event’s time zones accordingly to the account/device’s time zone. So you would set place (of the race, as already has) and set time (local, where the race is happening). Like this of Formula 1 by RaceFans: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/ekqk1nbdusr1baon1ic42oeeik%40group.calendar.google.com/public/basic.ics

    Again, thank you very much!

  14. Why do people tell me I’m doing a great job, then tell me how I’m doing everything wrong?

    I offer a specific service.

    If you’ve found a different service that better fits your needs, great, use that! I honestly don’t mind.

    If you want to know the day in your calendar you can use this service.

    If you want to know specific times, which are monitored by a team of people and updated accordingly, you can use Raceday.watch or RaceFans or something else.

    Or you can start your own free website.

    Choice is good. Competition is healthy.

    But don’t go to McDonalds and order a Whopper, I don’t sell them.

  15. Thank you for these calendars, they are amazing. I know you said no F4 series, but I would like to add another voice to the crowd asking for F1 Academy to be added. However, totally get that it’s your (volunteered!) time.
