If it's every other lap, I'd check the minimum lap time setting (sometimes known as 'de-bounce') in the software. If it counts when you go slow, that makes sense. There should probably be a noise from the program on the lap when it doesn't count.

If you're running Race Co-ordinator, it's always good to have a copy of the Trackmate software available - then you can check if you have the same problem on both programs. That would suggest a hardware problem (or a too-high minimum lap time on both!). If the issue is just on Race Co-ordinator, that would suggest an incorrect setting or a bug.

It was every other lap (every second lap essentially) yes it was the de-bounce, managed to get it sorted. Thanks for your fast response and help, it is appreciated.


Sadly and very unusual, though for some reason I am getting no replies to my emails from either Daniel at Trackmate nor Steve? from RC which is actually pissing me off considerably. Businesses are quick to take my money, provide 2/3rds of the order and then proceed to ignore my communications, grrr    bad business in my view, oh well I shall wait another three days and resend the emails

I don't have Trackmate hardware so don't know if you have a problem with that but it would pay to check whether the sensors need a clean.

Re RC software:
Have you tried running in demo mode? If it does it with that then you have a bug.

Does it do it on every lane?

Does it do it with every different type of race, including practice?

Is it literally every other lap?

The obvious suspect is too high a minimum lap setting but I assume you have checked that.

By the way, did you receive the Murray Walker audio files I sent you some time ago?

Demo - Didn't try that, haven't used that for ages, good thinking - Thank you
Every lane - Yes
Every Race Type - Yes
Literally every other lap - Yes
Murray Walker audio - Can't locate, hmm, now that is a great question re the Murray Walker audio files, just searched my emails and there is no email with that attachment...
Suspect de-bounce too high - Yes (which is unbelievable to be doing under 8 second lap times... woohoo)

I also ran into the similar issue with the Fuel Race where random times it would miss a lap, again from some quick investigations it would appear that we are actually doing quicker than 8 second lap times (NSR's and Revo's) with a 10 metre straight which is fantastic , I think...
