Same thing happens on special events that open at midnight UTC, players with negative time zones, e.g. -5:00 Eastern time US&Canada are still the day before, midnight UTC will be 20:00 the day before, so if they start, before midnight, the next stage will open at midnight (local time) so stage 1 and 2 can be completed straight away. They still have to wait until midnight for each subsequent stage to open.

Do not change your time, once started, as players have been known to lose cars, FM will consider it as possible cheating.
