Seems to me there is a little bit of a fib going on with the Tag Heuer system though. Dunkeswell have been using a Tag Heuer system reading the standard AMB transponder for some time, and I haven't heard there is anything useful in the new system that is related to anything provided by the transponder.

Where other systems gave one access to the underlying database, from which one could create all the necessary lap by lap charts*, the Tag Heuer system is secured to prevent any sort of aftermarket processing. Now it appears that someone wants to import Tag Heuer gear and make a killing on the back of it, so either the ability of the TAG Heuer system to read AMB transponders is being 'turned off' or people are being told it isn't available just to sell TH Tx's.

The organisation of this falls within the ABKc, probably within the ABKc steering committee, though no doubt someone will try to shift the blame to the MSA.

It really isn't surprising that more tracks and bigger grids are heading to independent status, they are the tracks that find that the ABKc offers them very little while the number of visitors from other tracks demanding increasingly expensive 'fixed class' racing has become insignificant.

* I've produced absolute time graphs showing the gap between drivers lap by lap, lap position graphs, variations from average lap graphs, actual positions over the line and so on for several years now in Excel. There's been zero call for them generally from drivers or clubs.
