I am assuming this has something to do with DST.
Thats actually funny. I forgot all about the time changing.
When I first saw this type of race, I had a different idea about what this game was from what they implemented.

The time is calculated from the moment you create the character and enter the first time.
The extra time you get is for gathering stuff for the main character (the one which will have the
fastest time). So, player has to make decisions based on what to save for that character.

TLDR; Time starts from creation of character, Allow multiple characters for farming for main character, Run with main character - get lowest time;

This would keep things interesting for top level racers as well.

Stay up until 2am to do the race... oops gotta wait another hour due to DST.
Finally time to race, fire up PoE, oops crash to blue screen of death, 5 minutes late for the race, lol... good thing people that put up with marauder are few and between :o)
hm-hm, every other marauder in top30 is L20-21, I guess I'm overleveling as usually o_O
Playing with 70-80ms ping, which is causing long loading between zones,
resulting in 2-4 minutes disadvantage in 1 hour races.
(I was wrong, it wasn't a ping issue but something else on GGG side)
