Does you thinks that the signal will be ok, with a bigger loop ( track is 4m large ) and in the terrain, the distance to the transponder will be 1m at maximum.

I must add and accu to the transponder as we do not have battery on MX bike.

Achieving operation at 1m separation between the loop and transponder would require at least a new loop amplifier design.

Also, the system is limited to 10 transponders running simultaneously. I believe most motocross races have far more competitors on track at the same time.
