52 minutes left based on the time calculator on their website :)))
Nah, it's 1 hour and 48 minutes. It's 10:11 GMT right now. Their website counter doesn't account for time differences.

Shows 6 hours and 48 minutes for me. I'm GMT -5

I'm stupid edit: My time zone is US EST which is +5 for GMT not GMT +5. Hence the counter saying over 6 hours til reveal. I'll claim working midnights is my excuse. Carry on...

The event starts at 11 GMT, ergo the countdown. The car will be shown at 12 GMT.

Surely the site says: #McLAREN2014 12:00PM FRIDAY JANUARY 24 and it's 11:10AM GMT at the moment so there's about 50 mins to wait.

Yep. Nothing happened with the end of the countdown. Maybe they should ditch TAG Heuer.

The countdown shows 33 min left for me. So it seems the counter is a bit of script that reads the time on your computer, but the programmer used your local time instead of UTC.
