yip they were quick to shout their mouths off about it but in typical fashion zero statement on the above ..maybe our resident award winning scribe on here could investigate

I was lead to believe it wasn't going to be free ? Maybe that's been the hold up

Trying to find out more. They were doing test here at Summerveld a week ago I think it was. Also experimenting with camera's on helmets some time I gather. Will come back to you.

No idea why it's not been done already even at a basic level. The technology is not that difficult nor expensive.

I reckon I could put together a fairly sophisticated model in a few months for less than half a bar per track. One could even have subscribers who receive the sectionals on their mobiles seconds after the race.... I was looking at trying to put a basic package to sell to trainers at one stage for training purposes. Then I heard sectional timing was imminent so canned it

I managed to listen but , my hearing is not as good as it used to be

They still need the go ahead , but the jist of it is there is already 3 towers at Greyville , and they will be using the grs system until the last 400m when a new fancy tagging system kicks in
