Has the system changed or is my memory wrong?
With the clocks going back this weekend I'm wondering whether I still have to change the race time or does the league time zone automatically revert back to GMT?
Currently showing GMT+1 and 18:00 start time but I'm sure that when they went forward in March I had to change the start time to keep the race times correct.

Hello Pete,

In this topic you can read my announcement about it. We plan to mail this to league host tomorrow too.

Hello,

In order to reduce confusion within iGP Manager, league hosts have to counteract DST changes by changing their race time (at least 24 hours before the next race).
"If your clock moves +1, then your race is +1 on the clock, and if your clock moves -1, then your race is -1 on the clock. League hosts can adjust the schedule in advance if they wish to avoid this.
The reason iGP Manager doesn't change the time automatically is that not all countries change their timezones at the same time - and some countries don't change at all. 

As a host, to counteract the DST changes, you can change the race time in the opposite direction; for example, if the clocks are going backwards, you have to put your race time 1 hour forwards and vice versa. Of course, this is depending on whether your league wants to race at the same time, or with a 1 hour change - which could depend on where your managers are based.
