Working on the 38.2km/h claimed by DJRP, and the desired 40km/h, we are looking at a loop spacing error of 236mm. Hard to see them being that far out, but if the first loop was 5m before the pit entry line and not after, could explain the problem.
If the loops are 300 wide, the error is within the physical width of one loop.
Will individual loops always trigger at mid point ?, or one nearer the leading wire and the second on the trailing wire ?.
Hard to imagine the wheel speed sensors can allow for tyre wear (change to rolling diameter) & be accurate 100% of the time.
I'm no expert & not taking sides - just thinking out loud........
And the difference in time is between 38.2km/h & 40km/h over 5m is 0.0212 seconds

Reason: rounding of seconds
