Scoreboard is a nice idea, i like it. Has been used at many on road meetings for some time. I don't find it of any use while i'm driving though, have no intention of looking at that rather than my car!

We understand the WiFi connection is not always great. With the layout of most tracks the coverage can be difficult, as the pitting normally stretches off in one directly rather than everyone being around the track perimeter and therefore closer to race control.
The committee did look at purchasing a new WiFi Access Point with a high gain external aerial, however after a short discussion with Rob@BBK it was indicated that software updates may be on the way and it might change the way things were distributed across the network. His advise was not hold back on purchasing new equipment for the short term.
We did however run a slightly different WiFi AP at Kiddy, as the previous unit had seen far too many wet meetings and it was felt a temporary replacement was needed.
Ways to improve the coverage were discussion late on Sunday afternoon and a solution will be tested at Oswestry.
Hopefully this will allow the majority of you access to the realtime timing.
