Daylight Savings Time

So, we still use stupid daylight savings time here, and I just realized how some of the timers in the game are affected (i.e. tied to GMT, without regard to local/device time):

- Championships/R&D/EDD times are affected. Not sure if it affects time to start the event (e.g. 3 days 8 hours to start event, gaining/losing an hour), but I suspect it does. However, if you already started an event, you definitely gain/lose an hour. Like in the Pista Championship when daylight savings time ended, I lost an hour (i.e. going back to GMT time +/- the hours for your locale). Hence, the locations opened up 1 hour before they would have (e.g. locations opening at 6:00AM now open at 5:00AM). While that sounds good, the end time for the Championship also shortened by 1 hour. This sucks because the overall time I had to play the Championship was shortened by 1 hour.

- Events (e.g. TLE, MPE, etc.) start/finish times are affected.

- Daily refresh times so that you can watch ads for boosters and single-race double credits (likely for the free stuff too) are affected.

The following were NOT affected (i.e. tied to local/device time, without regard to GMT):

- Exclusive Deals refresh times are unaffected (twice per day).

- Daily Tasks refresh time is unaffected.
