I'm guessing you've done the same but 960696/24 =40,029 days = 109.67 years
which just happens (i'm guessing) to be 109.67 years since 1/1/1900. Does
this mean it's doing elapsed time since the start of excel dates for some
reason.

Jacob, I think it is almost there. the minutes and seconds now start at zero
but the hours (are shown) start at 960696. So at time zero the timer shows
960696:00:00.
Thanks for you efforts.

Try

Sub RClock1()

Watch = Now - Sheets("Timing Sheet").Range("B6")
UserForm1.RaceClock1.Text = Worksheetfunction.text(Now - _
Sheets("Timing Sheet").Range("B6"),"[h]:mm:ss")
NextTick = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")
Application.OnTime NextTick, "RClock1"
End Sub

I have the following code for a timer on a form. the time in cell b6 is the
start time of the race. I want it to work for races that go for than 24
hours. I have tried formatting it as "[hh]:mm:ss" but the hours disappear and
the timer starts at 8 minutes for some reason regardless of what the start
time is. Any ideas.

Thanks

Sub RClock1()

Watch = Now - Sheets("Timing Sheet").Range("B6")
UserForm1.RaceClock1.Text = Format(Watch, "hh:mm:ss")
