Its not about FTQ, fancy gear etc, its just about having a laugh at the track.

Gotcha there Si, we have our own IR transponder system and have had it for almost a year now.
The fact there used to be no guarantee that the lap scores were accurate (they usually were Si!) as you say meant no one bothered much with lap scores. You would think accurate lap counting might make them take it more seriously, but strangely enough still no one cares who actually wins.
