Timing systems options?

[Shoope1]

What are the options for timing DH racing?
Cost to purchase?
cost to rent?

Links?

Freelap is a workable option, not to costly but somewhat bad avaiability. Can be frustrating if the watch passes outside the finish zone, so not fool proof but overall a nice way to spice up your riding.

Somewhere around 240£ total on crc when i bought my stuff.

yeah good for personal use but not realistic when it comes to putting on an event. the watches are expensive

Oh was it for events? Yes freelap is only good for personal/small party of friends mucking about. For events i have never really been involved with organizing/running it and i suspect a proper well functining system will be expesive to acquire. I guess best option is if you have a local skiracing club, they maybe have a system they could lend

I think i recall that at my skiing academy we had a system that would cope with around 30 individual times, had a gated start, laser finish and was portable. Kind of a hassel to run and set up but cost maybe around 2-3k€, which i suspect is cheap compared to a system that can handle a proper event

yes for racing event.
