WRC Transponder
Just heard on the rally radio that the drivers/teams had to buy or rent transponders from the WRC org.
Anyone that knows more about this, and how much it is for one rally or a season ??
This is the reason for why we do not see all the privateers on the splits.
Stupid system, should be free so we can see them all !!Keep It Simple Stupid !

not every transponder is capable of sending split times, so the top cars get those one.
M5 if you are serious about this I am sure that you can pay to have all cars fitted with better transponders.

Are splits really that important?

from what i gather..the transponders are used for the actualy timing of the cars during the stage. makes it easier to get the correct time and to make sure that no one breaks the beam by mistake....ontop of that they can use them to track the cars durin the stage or off the stage..send splits lots of other stuff..but thats just what i think

The car is tracked all the time, on stage or touring.
