Hi all

The other day, I added the previously unpublished dates and times for the rest of the 2026 Season of Sprints to the FB website.

So, the entire Sprint timetable is now complete here:

https://www.formulaboinc.org/sprints.py ... nding=team

I *think* I have got the F1 race finishing times correct but if they are slightly out, I doubt it will make much difference to anyone. But please let me know if you spot a serious issue (before the Sprint starts !!) and I can then put it right, if needs be.

regards
Tim
