Race timing in the Var

It’s the question we all ask ourselves: how long does each participant take to complete their race? 🤔 That’s the whole point of timing—measuring the time from start to finish to establish the rankings. Long done with a handheld stopwatch, it’s now electronic ⏱️. Chips attached to the bib, the shoe, or the bike are automatically detected on the ground as participants pass. In concrete terms, this setup relies on timing mats equipped with RFID antennas, placed on the ground at the start line, finish line, and intermediate checkpoints: each chip emits a unique frequency captured down to the thousandth of a second, ensuring rankings with impeccable accuracy. It’s also what lets us distinguish official time (calculated from the start signal) from net time, which only starts when you cross the line—super handy when you’re starting at the back of the pack!

Practically speaking, what does that look like?
