Speed Traps and Official Sector Timing

[tristancliffe]

In 2009 the Donington round was moved, due to flooding, to the British F3 meeting. I'm sure the F3 boys were very pleased to be supporting such a prestigious championship as Monoposto.

But the TSL Results had sector timing and speed trap data, which is lovely, interesting and all of that.

Is that something we can ever have at other meetings? Are the timing loops built into the circuit, but only used for bigger events? Is there an additional cost involved (in which case forget it!)? Do other championships at the meeting have to agree?

I would have thought that if the loops are there, and the timing stuff is mostly automated these days, then it wouldn't cost the circuits anything to turn them on and let us see who is doing what in more detail.

Agreed. This would be useful information for competitors.
Perhaps the best way to proceed would be an approach from the Mono/F3 Club to TSL to enquire if this was possible?

I'll mention it to the powers that be at Donington and see if anything can happen in the future.
