I have heard though, because the Ilap system works on an Infra-red system & not microwave radio or whatever other witchcraft the more traditional transponders work on, that ILap is no good for outdoor track use when there is bright sunshine (because the sunshine screws up the signals between the car & the loop) or if the start line is situated on a sun trap, or it only works well indoors. Can anyone confirm this?
Plus i can't imagine Ilap being much use for off-road use - think about it, you are following a car & it sprays up a big rooster tail & coats your car in crud or if a layer of thick dust coats the innards of the car after being sprayed from the tyres.. surely as the Ilap system works from infra-red light, if that light gets blocked out your car will not register as you cross the loop.
