the clock, its wrong

[monkey]

I've just spent my lunch hour happily watching the clock count down toward the start of the race on Lemans.org (sad I know but), only to find it is wrong, seems our friends at the ACO are on British Summertime......................

Can't see anything wrong... the race starts at 16:00 CET.

Yup it does, so given that it is now16.30 cet how come it is showing 18 days and 30 mins to the start, when in 18 days, the race will have been running for half an hour???

If you change your PC clock to the Paris Time zone then it will show the correct time.  

Or you can look at my Avtar and it will show you the time to go correctly. :-)

thanks. As you were.

The countdown gadget on the ACO site uses your computer's own time to work out the count. Try changing your PC time by an hour and see what happens...

By the way, our server is on Denmark time - had you noticed???
It is located in Copenhagen and looked after by Lennart (Matrasport) Sorth, my Danish friend and fellow LM fan.

I've just looked at the ACO site and according to it at present there are 20 days, 4 hours, 23 minutes.  

So by reckoning, the time is correct.................but 20 days to go??  

It is the 1st today isn't it???

Are you sure the dates right on your pc...

It shows the correct number of days for me...

My date's right and it shows 20 days to go for me as well.
