Scalextric timing.
#4

Hello,
A bit off the wall here but the Scalextric "Pole Position" lap timer might be what suits your needs. It speaks the lap times to an accuracy of one decimal place. Below is a link to a unit on Ebay (I have no connection to the seller). A limitation is that the lap times can only cover up to 9.9 seconds. The track type is Scalextric Classic, that might be a problem. Sport to Classic adaptors are available. 

Edit: - Just had a quick play and realised that the times are only called out in qualifying mode, not race mode. 
Hope you hadn't got your hopes up on this.

Here is a video I made a while ago :-
 

It works with ambient light to a sensor under the track so pretty simple. If you think it might suit, I will dig mine out and do a more detailed video to help you decide.
