lap timers/transponders

what are the options?

i know that some tracks have the beacon so you get lap time as you pass, but is it easier to just have a bar mounted lap timer?

Also if you are racing do you have to have a transponder or can you borrow one?

what are the best makes for lap timers etc?

bar or dash mounted/incorporated in instruments are a waste fo time imho.

most circuits have their beacon on permanently.

for raciing you need a transponder and can either buy or hire.

i use a t200 lap timer. never had a problem with it and you can download and save your date.

its good because i can see how slow i am time and time again!

i would guess around 120-130 without the beacon. which to be fair you probably dont need. i bough it but havnt used it yet. everywhere i have been since getting it has always had their beacon on: brands, silverstone, rockingham intl. you could always borrow mine if you go on a track without their beacon on. i only got it to be 100 pct certain

Lily, never used a bike mounted lap timer but I am sure they can be useful. Always had someone stand on pit wall for hand measured lap times.

For racing, you'll need a TranX260 transponder. It will vary from club to club but DP, Bemsee, and NewEra use them. With DP, you can hire one for a tenner if you only do the odd race. For a full season you need to buy one anout £200.

t100 can record 100 laps and t200.....you guessed it 200!

the t100 doesnt allow downloads either. it really good to have them downloaded as you can see what you were doing last time. or a year a go or whatever. it also gives you average lap tim, total laps, time on track etc.
