I know a guy who was working on a database for a local Scalextric Club, apparently the hardware they have on their club track logs participants laptimes onto a PC.

It keeps records of Race Lap Records etc. The odd thing the software he was using only ran under MS Dos, apparently there was something in Windows regarding the PC's inbuilt clock processor, or timer that caused a level of innacuracy, the club couldn't cope with that apparently!

I'm not sure to how many decimal places they were timing the cars too but it sounded a little over the top!
