Who came up with these times? Even the FPs are pretty late for a lot of North and South America.

    The average high this time of year is just below 70 F / ~20C. The nighttime temperature is closer to winter testing than any races. Sunset is around 4:30PM local (1230 UTC) so an evening or early night race would still get the lights. I think part of the reason for the time is getting the strip to agree to close.
