About When's the Race
F1 session times, converted to your timezone.
When's the Race solves one small but annoying problem: working out what time a Formula 1 session actually starts where you are. Official calendars and most schedule sites publish times in the circuit’s local zone, or in a single fixed zone like UK time, leaving you to do the timezone maths — and to get it wrong when the clocks change. When's the Race does that conversion for you, for every practice, qualifying, sprint and race of the 2026 season.
How it works
Pick your timezone once and whenstherace.com remembers it locally in your browser. Every start time on the home page and on each per-race page is then shown in that zone, with a live countdown to the next session. You can add a single race to your calendar with a built-in 30-minute reminder, or subscribe to the full-season calendar feed so your calendar stays in sync if a session time moves.
Where the data comes from
Races, results and standings come from F1DB, an open, community-maintained Formula 1 database, and session start times from sportstimes/f1, the open data behind f1calendar.com. The two are checked against each other every time the site is built and refreshed, so the times you see reflect the latest published schedule rather than a hand-edited table. Circuit facts shown on each race page — lengths, lap counts and the year a venue first held a World Championship round — are hand-checked stable facts, not generated text.
What it costs and how it’s funded
When's the Race is free to use and needs no account. The site may carry advertising to cover hosting costs; how any advertising and analytics handle data is described in our Privacy Policy.
