London to Paris in 24 hours flawlessly timed

Last weekend we timed the Action Challenge 24 hour London to Paris event and it went off flawlessly. Using our brand spanking new UHF equipment, which utilises low cost, light-weight non-intrusive, paper thin chips attached to the cyclists' helmets, we were able to offer split second timing accuracy, athlete stage location - on course #/on bus # and more.

This whole event went off flawlessley. Action Challenge clearly know their business.

NOKIA Windsor Triathlon

Once again Race Timing Systems played a major role in the Nokia Windsor Triathlon providing flawless timing services for 1800 athletes over 2 days including a field of 52 elites.

RTS times the Deloitte Ride Across Britain.

From 12th to 20th of June 600 intrepid cyclists are travellng all the way from John O'Groats to Lands End and Race Timing Systems are timing them. This is called the Deloitte Ride Across Britain. Each day riders are checked out, set off to ride around 115 miles before completing the day at the final check point.

This is a non competitive sportive event meaning the times are used for safety and interest rather than racing performance. That's not to say they're not accurate. We're using technology capable of timing cyclists to the hundreth of a second. We know which state each athlete is on at any point in the ride.

These results will not be published to our website and instead area available via enquiry to the Deloitte Ride Across Britain team.

Where's my time?

As timers we regularly get a tough time from athletes who fail to follow the instructions or attend the race briefing. Wear your chip as directed and avoid all the nonsense:

• Flat tags go on the shoe
• Velcro straps go on the ankle. Chip to remain vertical.
• Bike mounted chips go on the front forks. Chip to remain vertical.
