Missed laps are a rarity, and as BBK's own info mentions frequently down to transponder placement and loop positioning. RC4 might make that less critical but most clubs have it sorted with RC2/3 systems so there is no gain. If lap counting was frequently unreliable I could see the point, but it isn't.

Actually its ironic really - what got AMB into timing F1 and the likes was the incredible reliability of its RC systems. Yet now they are suggesting that what was good enough for professional motorsport isn't enough?

It was allegedly the KERS system being introduced that caused interference issues hence 'required' upgrade.

How this effects r/c is beyond me!

i do question the reason MRT's don't work on new system but older AMB's do... do MRT's run at a lower signal strength to all AMB products so they have just managed to remove the signal detection band that 'accidentally' means a competitors products are defunct?
