When it's been proven to be reliable - but who knows when that will be.
We use it in our club 10s at Hillingdon, which works well as we can run a line across the road. Manual timing of it, with 50 riders doing 11 laps, would be very hard.
We've had a handful of failed passes in 5 years, so it's proven to work at least as well as a manual TK. But you couldn't run a line across a public road, and I don't think the ones with detection at the side are as reliable.The system is expensive. CTT could afford it but lots of clubs would struggle: transponders are about £90 each and there's a cost for the box and software too.

Do the national events have automatic timing yet?
When are we going to see it.
