Mclaren MP4-29 Pre-launch Speculation

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

The countdown is not properly adjusting for time zones. I am -3:30 and mine now says 14.5 hours. I assume you are +10.5.

The countdown shouldn't be affected by timezones...

It's an error in the site's countdown coding. Looks like it's based off your local computer time, not GMT.

You'd think Tag Heuer would want the correct time displayed worldwide before putting their logo on it.

Black rims is nice. Better than when they ran those chrome wheels. And the color looks silver not chrome. It will probably be silver grey and black.
