Event Details:
 
Ã,·        A moderated chat session begins at 2:30 p.m. EST (19:30 GMT) and runs until the completion of the road race (in other words, for the duration of both the oval and road races).
 
Ã,·        The oval race broadcast begins at 2:45 p.m. (19:45 GMT) and runs through the completion of the race and the post-race driver interviews.  The race itself begins at 3:00 p.m. (20:00 GMT).

Note: The official event results for the World Cup will be reflected on the World Cup page itself -- NOT the event result which is regularly accessed via Results Archive and after the race.  A change was made on the World Cup page to account for the spectator slots.
