No it's not rocket science but it does take a level of skill that you learn over some years.
Random transponders missing random laps from random cars is the biggest headeach for an RD. It's usually a mixture of many different things all transpiring together that then effects one or two drivers ON THAT DAY.
Usually starts with a degrading loop or coax, coupled with either a badly placed PT, thick carbon/Ali chassis, worn PT cable, or even poor BEC performance. And that's the short list!
As an RD you have to understand what the decoder and the software is telling you about the incoming laps.
And as Si says that's before you remember to change the min/max lap times for different layouts for each class.
I still maintain that every driver should do a stint in race control!
