MYLAPS Sports Technology, formerly AMB i.t. or ChampionChip, is a Dutch company specializing in sports timing and race control solutions. Founded in 1982 in Haarlem, Netherlands, MYLAPS invented automated sports timing by introducing the world's first automatic timing system using transponders for motorsport events.
History[edit]
In 1982, AMB i.t. was established by a group of enthusiasts aiming to improve timing accuracy in RC (model car) racing. The company created automatic timing by developing transponder-based systems, initially catering to radio-controlled car racing before moving into motorsports like NASCAR and IndyCar.
In 1993 a couple of Dutch running enthusiasts founded a company called ChampionChip in Nijmegen. They invented a timing system for mass running events, using shoe chips for athletes and electromagnetic receptors at the start and finish lines.[1]
In 2008 AMB i.t. and ChampionChip merged and formed MYLAPS. A logical choice for two companies founded and based in The Netherlands and having evolved into world leaders in the same type of industry.[2]
Technological Innovation[edit]
MYLAPS' technology consists of transponders, chips, timing systems, and software designed to capture race and training data, providing real-time insights, and enhancing the overall sports experience. They have recently diversified their product portfolio with the Race Control System to enhance safety in motorsports.[3]
Global Impact[edit]
With a presence in numerous global events, from professional races like the Boston Marathon, the Chicago Marathon, NASCAR, and INDYCAR to local grassroots competitions, MYLAPS has become a trusted name in sports timing. Their systems are utilized across various sports, including motorsports, cycling, marathons, etc.[4]
