In order to watch too much racing you will need to know when it happens. Keep up with your favourite racing series by adding IWTMR 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 series you want to import and it will appear in your calendar.
Scroll down to the table below to pick your championships!
Scroll beneath the table for reasons you should use these calendars!

Created calendar for FIM Endurance World Championship (EWC).
Renamed MotoGP to FIM MotoGP.
Renamed WSBK to FIM WSBK.
This groups the FIM bikes together in the list.
Redesigned the table into 3-column format for easier use on mobile devices.
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:
Tap the ICAL link. 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 used to create these calendars and it updates your list immediately when I post an update.

Why Use These Calendars?
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 will always listen to feedback but that doesn’t always mean I’ll implement it!
One series = One calendar
Pick championships that interest you without getting lots of dates for things you don’t care about.
Customise
In Google Calendar you can colour-code each championship, e.g. you could make all the endurance series green, single-seater series red, or rally series brown (for dirt..!).
Races Only
Races are why we are all here. Races are most important. Practice sessions clutter the feed meaning you can’t find the races. Clarity is better.
When you know the race day you can go to the series website to look up other session times. Use these calendars as a tool to remind you which weekend a race happens.
Dates, Not Times
Sorry, it is a big job for me to track race start times! These are announced much later than race dates, sometimes only days before a race. I cover 30+ series, I just can’t monitor them on a weekly basis. There is also the issue of timezone conversion…
No TV Times
I don’t know where you live! The internet is global. It is up to you to find out what TV, radio and online streaming coverage is available where you are.
Event Titles
Event titles are as consistent as possible:
A short series name, the round number, the event title.
F1 [R1] Australian Grand Prix
IndyCar [R5] Indianapolis 500
WEC [R3] 24 Heures du Mans
[COVID-19: During the pandemic I am not including Round numbers [R1] as dates are changing too quickly. Every cancellation/postponement means renumbering everything else. Hopefully we’ll be back to normal mid-2021.]
I sometimes have to remove sponsor names for brevity, especially for NASCAR, some of those race names are incredible, so
NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series [R22] Helluva Good Sour Cream Dips At The Glen
might become
NASCAR Cup [R22] Watkins Glen
This is because I’m aware a lot of people, including me, use these on their mobile phone screensavers and you actually want to be able to read it!
Different series number their races in different ways. e.g. one series of 30 races may choose to have 30 individual round numbers (BTCC), another series of 20 races may choose to have 10 rounds and call them ’round 1 race 1′, ’round 1 race 2′, or ’round 1 feature race’ and ’round 1 sprint race’ (FIA F2). I try to mirror the way the championship does it but I’ve probably got this wrong somewhere, so just use this as a guide and consult the championship itself for the correct numbers.
Many series have two or three races per weekend. I merge multiple races in a day into a single entry, but if there are different races over 2 days they get one entry per day. A single race over 2 days, like Le Mans, will have one entry lasting 24 hours.
All rallies are listed as single events lasting 3 or 4 days.
Example entries:
Apr 3: BTCC -R1,R2,R3- Brands Hatch
May 7: DTM – R1 – Hockenheim
May 8: DTM – R2 – Hockenheim
‘Misc’ Calendar
Catch-all. It includes such things as the Dakar Rally, Goodwood Festival of Speed, Isle of Man TT, Nurburgring 24 Hours, Bathurst 12 Hours and anything else that pops into my head.
‘Other Sport’ Calendar
I made this for my own benefit for the 2012 Olympics & Paralympics. I like to know that I’m not going to miss the Tour de France or the FA Cup Final or the Six Nations! Or that racing isn’t going to clash with it. It is heavily biased toward sports I watch and isn’t updated very often.

Hi, love these calendars! They’re so damn useful! Do you think you may be uploading WRC this year and if so would it likely be uploaded prior to it starting later this month?

Hi Mike. Thanks! To tell you the truth, I was hoping to have done WRC by now.
I’m aiming to work roughly in start order ,or by group, so I did WSBK to fit with having done MotoGP.
Coming Next: WRC, IGTC (Bathurst 12 Hr Feb 2nd), NHRA, NASCAR, then anything that starts in March.
I’m behind target. Current plan is to do a heck of a lot while I’m home watching the Daytona 24.

Brad, sorry you’re having problems. I’ve just re-done the ICAL link so give it another try please and let me know.
Mike, WRC is done.
I’ve also added as a new calendar the IGTC including Bathurst 12 Hour, Spa, Laguna Seca, etc. Blog post imminent.
IMSA dates were done a while ago and I’m intending to write a blog on that before Daytona starts, it’ll probably publish Thursday. Not sure I’ll have time to write a race preview but shall try.
Planning to add more dates during the Daytona 24, depending how busy the race is. It may be a good opportunity to get the 93 NASCAR races done.

Hi Luke, yes the Supercars calendar link is active but there are no dates in it yet! If you are already subscribed, the dates will appear as soon as I do them. Maybe it would be good timing to get those done ready for the Bathurst 12 Hour next week (for promo reasons).

Hi Pat, great work with the calendars! Thank you!
Do you have an ETA on the VLN races?
LikeLike
I’ve kind of given up on any schedule and I’m doing things as I can. Like, I only did Intercontinental GT because it has 5 races!
I said I’d do NASCAR this weekend but I’m having second thoughts – it may well make sense to load in as many GT series as I can to tie in with the right audience with it being Daytona24/Bathurst12. Then everything turns to NASCAR after that.
Targets I have to hit:
NASCAR starts with the Clash on 10th Feb, NHRA starts that sort of time I think, Supercars has high demand and starts early March, MXGP starts early March.
All I can say is keep an eye on this comments section over the next 2 weeks. All of the above should be done by Feb 10th.

One other follow up question: which calendar will include the Nurburgring 24 hours? Thanks Pat!
LikeLike
That’s a good question!
I usually include it in Miscellaneous.
It isn’t part of VLN but there’s an argument for including it there because ‘it fits’.
I wanted to do a “Big Sportscar Race” calendar after I finished everything else but it’s a bit late now, we’ve had Dubai and nearly Daytona. Maybe next year.

Now uploaded:
Blancpain GT Europe and Blancpain Endurance (combined as one Blancpain GT);
Blancpain GT America (which used to be PWC);
Blancpain GT Asia;
British GT;
Britcar;
I have assumed all the Blancpain GT series use the same race format with a race each on Saturday and Sunday, noting the Americas series races are 90 minutes and the other series (sprint) races are 60 minutes. Must say I’m glad they tidied up the mess that was in PWC with Sprint vs SprintX, that was confusing! Americas is also waiting for a TBA to be confirmed in October.
Next in the task list in this order:
Supercars Australia
NASCAR Cup
NASCAR Xfinity
NASCAR Trucks
Then I’ll tidy up the rest of GT racing: VLN, N24, GT Open, Super GT, ADAC GT, then touring car racing WTCR, TCR Europe.
Blog posts will be in the order: Supercars, NASCAR, Blancpain, etc.

Pat – thanks so much for this service, so much easier than going to tvracer.com every 3 days. I understand why it’s too much work to do the start times, and all sessions, so I hope you’ll forgive me for not using yours for my main motorsport, F1.
