Personally I don’t think it is possible to please everybody, and as Tiverton have handouts it does alleviate the issue, but it is a shame that racers have to pay out for new transponders! I can see a day where AMB keep changing the transponders on the premise that the new one is better and force a change of transponders every couple of years, just imagine how much money is in that world wide for AMB!?!?! I have never had a missed lap in 6 years of running personal transponders so the statement of reducing missed laps a little misleading.
Having said the above AMB are a business and need to make a profit as all businesses need to! Including all the manufacturers involved in radio controlled car racing, we all spend money on racing, (some more than others) and surely lap counting is no less important than any other aspect. It’s just a shame AMB feel the need to make their system a monopoly!!
I just wish Clive and Terry at MRT would develop and manufacture a system of their own!!
