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

I'm not asking for your sympathy, I don't mind. I'm merely stating that the time was not chosen for eurocentric reasons. It probably has to do with showing Vegas at night so it looks nicer and not interfering with the locals too much in terms of traffic.

They could show Vegas at night 4-6 hours earlier. The only reason they’re not doing it that way is so it won’t be overnight for europe.
