Formula 1 - Grand Prix of Europe starts on June 19, 2016 at 17.00
Baku City Circuit (BCC) confirmed this weekend that the start time for the 2016 FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX OF EUROPE - the first ever Formula 1 race to be held in Baku. Azerbaijan – has been moved forward by one hour to 5pm as a result of the Azerbaijani government’s decision to scrap Daylight Saving Time (DST) from this year onwards, company reports.
This time change was approved by FOM over the weekend and was directly linked to the fact that the abolishment of DST meant that the original start time of 6pm would have seen the race taking place too close to the 8.14pm time of sunset in the Azerbaijani capital.
This change in start time, however, will not apply to audiences in countries where the clocks have changed - meaning the official race start will still be 3pm CET for example - and crucially will avoid any clash with the 24 Hour Le Mans, which will be finishing at that time.
As previously reported by Turan, on 17 March the Azerbaijani Cabinet of Ministers adopted the decision to cancel its own decision of 17 March, 1997 on the daylight saving time, allegedly because of worries about the health of the people. The investigation by Turan agency showed that the rejection of the daylight saving time was imposed by the organizers of the International Federation of Motorsport (FIA), which was unwilling to match the start of the Formula-1 in Baku and finish the race "24 hours" Le Mans in France. For this, as usual the French moved to daylight saving time, and Azerbaijan has preserved winter time.
