Why Use These Calendars?June 2015 IWTM Calendar with the 14th selected. (click for large)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 will always listen to feedback but that doesn t always mean I ll implement it!One series = One calendarPick championships that interest you without getting lots of dates for things you don t care about.CustomiseIn 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 OnlyRaces 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 TimesSorry, 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 TimesI 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 TitlesEvent titles are as consistent as possible:A short series name, the round number, the event title.F1 [R1] Australian Grand PrixIndyCar [R5] Indianapolis 500WEC [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, soNASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series [R22] Helluva Good Sour Cream Dips At The Glenmight becomeNASCAR Cup [R22] Watkins GlenThis 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 HatchMay 7:  DTM  R1 HockenheimMay 8:  DTM  R2 Hockenheim Misc CalendarCatch-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 CalendarI 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.Copyright Notice DisclaimerCreative Commons BY SA InternationalYou may share or copy the calendar entries for your own purposes. I would like a credit where possible.Original entries MUST remain unchanged but you can copy them to your own calendar and amend them there.This does not imply that I endorse what you do with it, unless you have asked and got permission.I receive no benefit from doing these, commercial or otherwise.I am not affiliated to any championship or motor racing body or any publication.This service is only a guide. If you miss a race based on an error in the calendars, do not blame me! Yes, this has happened.I do miss things. Dates are changed mid-season without me noticing. Please do tell me!If you find these useful please do comment and most importantly share them.Spread the word! Hi, this calendar is of big help, it wil be great to have the qualifying times of MOTOGP included. Thanks in advance.LikeLikeIf you are looking for specific start times please use MotoGP.com.My service is for following race dates across multiple championships, I can t drill down to times for so many series.Thanks.LikeLike Coronavirus / Covid-19 has been causing problems for organisers. Several changes have been made and the situation remains fluid. I have made the following changes:Formula E: Sanya and Rome cancelled. Possibility later races may become double-headers.Formula 1: Chinese GP postponed/cancelled.MotoGP: Qatar is for Moto2 and Moto3 only. Thailand moved to October. Aragon moved 2 weeks earlier.24H Series: Monza moved from March to July. Estoril takes the March date.LikeLike MotoGP: COTA and Argentina moved to November. Valencia delayed to make room.FIA WEC: Sebring 1000 cancelled.IMSA: Sebring 12 Hours moved to November.Formula 1: Australian GP cancelled just hours before FP1.IndyCar: St Pete currently going to go ahead behind closed doors.IndyCar IMSA: Long Beach postponed.Formula E: Jarkarta postponed, Paris and Seoul probably next.World Superbike: Qatar cancelled. Jerez moved to October.NHRA: GatorNationals postponed.LikeLike I am trying to keep up with the fast-moving events around Covid-19 cancellations and rescheduling by updating the calendars every day or two, as time permits.And this post attempts to track it all:https://toomuchracing.com/2020/03/13/list-of-races-affected-by-coronavirus-covid-19/LikeLike Hi PatThank you for your passion and for your wonderfully consolidated motorsports calendars.This is a true labor of love :-))All the bestStephen Pagehttp://www.thevrl.com a community for people who love racing and carsLikeLiked by 1 person Pat Thanks for keeping the 2020 NASCAR calendar current with all the changes resulting from the pandemic.I noticed that the following race is listed on the wrong day. The NASCAR Cup Quaker State 400 (Kentucky) was on Sunday July 12th and not Saturday July 11th.https://www.nascar.com/nascar-cup-series/2020/schedule/LikeLike Imre, I m very unlikely to do PSC for the same reason I m very unlikely to do Ferrari Challenge or Lambo Super Trofeo. The number of people who care is going to be very small relative the effort.Tim, thanks for the BSB link, I forgot to comment here but I changed it not long after I saw the comment.jph6t, thanks, have changed, although I m not sure why you d want a date for something in the past!I also noticed today that VA Supercars is at Sydney for a second time and not at Winton so I ve changed that as well.I stopped updating the separate post, no need now.LikeLike Oh and if you hadn t noticed the Calendars are now the main page of the site! I need to edit it down a bit but that s a task for when things are quieter.The blog section is still accessible from the menu bar and the last 5 posts are on the side bar. I don t get time to blog these days, much as I d like it.LikeLikeSTART TIMESI have started pulling together start times for races on my Twitter account. Just go to twitter.com/toomuchracing and see the pinned tweet or its immediate reply.As start times are only available in advance for the big championships, and a large number of races do not confirm their start times until race week especially in the era of Covid-19 I cannot do the Google iCal Calendars with start times. And there are too many to change individually.But I can check every week and post a summary to Twitter in an image.Example: Any chance of updating The FIA WRX (World Rallycross) calendar? Remainder of the season is confirmed with two rounds occurring on some weekends. Thanks for all you do! Love these calendars. Cheers.LikeLike Thanks again for the calendars. FYI slight corrections to the WRC calendar. CheersRally Turkey was last week 18-Sep to 20-SepRally Italia Sardegna 08-Oct to 11-OctLikeLike Superb calendars for motorcycle racing. Thanks.I have added to the tip jar so you can buy a pint of warm Bedfordshire beer!Cheers!LikeLiked by 1 personI know 2021 race dates are being announced now.But with Covid still about, I am very sceptical about the chances of races happening when they are planned.I d like to wait a little bit longer so that I don t have to keep editing the dates.It might be after the December FIA World Council meeting that I start to work on them.ThanksPatLikeLike Hey Pat,Firstly, once again thanks for the great work collating these calendars. The WRX calendar has changed again with this weekends scheduled round in Portugal being cancelled. Rounds 7 and 8 now take place a week apart in Spain over the one day each. For now, Round 9 is still in Belgium along with Round 10 in Germany. Both of these last two rounds take place over the usual 2 days for a WRX round.Cheers!LikeLikeOK changed. Hopefully this is the last one!I ve left the others as Sunday only, as Saturday is qualifying rounds, is that how it works?LikeLike WRC final round is from Monza this weekend. Next weekend s WRX is cancelled, series has now finished for 2020.LikeLike Hi Matthew,OK I have added a calendar space for EWC. There are no race dates yet as I can t find any to add but I will check back over the next few months.LikeLike I have renamed a couple of calendars within Google so they may have moved for you in the list:MotoGP - FIM MotoGPWSBK - FIM WSBKAnd new calendar - FIM EWCThis puts them all together if you order them alphabetically.LikeLike This is interesting.
