Thanks, just what I have been looking for.
That is very cool. Thank you!
This is great…
wow, nice one! fits perfectly on my site, corrected with swedish time and week starting with mondays. thanks for this gem!
This really is just plain fantastic. A perfect use of this Google Calendar feature. This really is the best F1 site. Thanks again!
Glad you like it guys
no race of champions? (maybe not 100% f1 though, but i see goodwood in there) anyway, thanks again for the cal!
Daniel – added.
Wow, I just signed up for Google Calendar and added your’s to mine first thing.
However, isn’t it odd that your F1 Calendar does not include the, ahem, F1 Calendar (of races) on it. Can this be added? Or am I doing something wrong?
Dave – I’d hesitated on adding them because of the uncertainty over the French and Canadian rounds. I’ll get them added in soon.
Dave – They’re all on there now.
Whoo hoo! Life doesn’t get any better than this!
Thanks! You’ve got a great site here….
You’re welcome! Glad you like it.
iCal! Genius… That’s Proper Bo
Keith, i think the tests in Catalunya have been changed to Jerez and will run from the 9th to the 15th. At least Renault have done this, according to Spanish news!
Hope it helps!
P.S. BRILL SITE!!!!!
Hi Keith,
I really appreciate the effort you have put into thi calendar, but there is something technical that has always bugged me about it…
You mark the full race weekends as full day events in the calendar… I know it’s going to be a lot of effort, but, I think it would be really great to have separate calendar entries for each session as per the start time and end time of the session. This way, you will also be able to add your live blog details to each session, and this would in turn make your calendar really PRICELESS…
have some more thoughts on the same, but I guess I need to research myself a bit before recommending any of them…
Cheers,
Harkirat
Will do that with the 2010 races, coming soon…
Time to update this Keith please!?
Like this a lot and will probably add the calendar to my website. I’ve been looking everywhere for the dates of the testing sessions – where do you get them?
Does anyone know if you can echo a Google Calander onto an iPhone?
That’s a great idea there Keith. Brilliant stuff.
Have the dates/times of the actual races and practise sessions etc. been removed?
Great work – I didn’t even know you can implement google calendar on website.
Thanks Keith – this is excellent!
I use google calendar for everything so this fits into my life perfectly!
It’s great, thanks Keith !
This is perfect, thank you!
Great work Keith!
Anyone knows if it is possible to watch the F1 Testing @ Barcelona? I want to go there (it’s cheap by plane from Rome), but I want to be sure I can watch F1!
Excellent work! Cheers!

I assume you’re wanting to the F1 calendar to show on your iphone calendar app? If so, instructions here:

and here:

(Assumes you have a google account)
To add this calendar to iCal (and thus through sync, to iPhone) if on a mac, you’ll need to add it to your (own) Google calendar, on your (own) Google account. (In other words, if you have a google email, then you have a Google account.)
Once added to your own personal account, you can export it to iCal through the little “down arrow” button, next to the “other calendars” icon, on the left hand side of the Google page. Click on calendar settings tab, and then the green ICAL tab. Click on the pop-up link, F1Fanatic .ics file will download and add itself automatically to iCal.
Hope this helps, and hope you all understand, as it took me a while to work out how to add the F1F calendar to (my) Google account. Adding to iCal was easy once I’d figured out how to add it to my Google account.
Here is the iCal link: http://tinyurl.com/ycc5l7s
Just download the file and open it in iCal or similar program.
any idea how to export this to an Outlook useable format?
This should do the trick: http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=89955
Thank you.

It’s fantastic. Thank you, Keith!
Great, added it to my calendar. You forgot about Toro Rosso launch on February 1 (http://www.itv-f1.com/news_article.aspx?id=47631)
Thank you very much for this – it’s a great resource and saves me a lot of effort and time.
Hi, isn’t Williams also unveiling their car on 1st Feb? I know it’s not a proper launch but Mercedes is up there so I thought Williams should be. Great calender, tis very useful.
I think you have missed out on Force India’s launch date…. it was supposed to be on Feb 10th. I don’t see it on the calendar….
This is great – but as someone who uses Google Apps with my own domain I needed the XML link, which I got from a fellow user who uses a standard Google account – if you wish to “Add by URL” then use :
http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/hendnaic1pa2r3oj8b87m08afg@group.calendar.google.com/public/basic
Perhaps that link could also be put in the main section as the standard “+Google Calendar” doesn’t seem to work for Google Apps users. Cheers !
Thanks @Matt, I was fighting the same problem!
brilliant resource! thankyou. love the blog!
Cha-Ching!! Just what I needed- and works on the iPhone too!! Brilliant!!!
That is truly awesome. From down here in New Zealand it has adjusted to the right time which means I still get no sleep but at least I can plan for it!
Ah, excellent I’m glad the times are converting correctly!
Woo, iCal on my Mac and iPhone will now get used slightly more then it did before because of the new calendars, Loverly.
Will the iCal version auto-update itself or will I have to download it again every time there is an update? Thanks
I’m not sure I’m afraid – I don’t use iCal for anything myself and I’m not familiar with the standard.
Usually when a new item has been added to the calendar I mention it in an article on the site, so the next time that happens check your calendar and see if it’s been updated automatically.
What a great feature! Thank you Keith!
Good work Keith, but I was wondering if there is a possibility to modifiy the times to different time zones (yours are in GMT, while many readers are in CET)? Thanks!
When you add it to your Google calendar it should adjust to your time zone automatically.
Hey,
Is there any way to import this into Windows Live Calendar? Apparently it only import *.ics files…
Cheers,
Su
Ignore me, I just figured it out, haha
Keith,
There is a site where you can publish calendars in all formats. Might be useful as a link, and also for maximum coverage – I think it is a US site, and at the moment there is no F1 stuff included in the calendars already posted. Have a look : http://icalshare.com/ – it works for all formats (though I’d guess you’d need to publish the calendar yourself in all the formats, rather than the site format them for you in windows/mac/other formats.
does this can be seen on my time zone ??
