Just think if you have a 4 tenths quicker reaction time at the start, it may not mean much from the start, but 4 tenths of a second at say 120 mph can be quite some distance. a slower et car can often beat a quicker car by getting a better reaction time.
Well done stav

When you think about it Its really an "anticipation" time not so much a "reaction" time if you're deliberatly leaving on the last amber.. I know that you're breaking the beam on the green, and i realise its the only way to "cut a perfect light" but its not really a true measurement of reaction...
I wonder what reaction times are possible if there werent amber lights to work with!
Isnt less than 0.400 deemed anticipation rather than reaction?
By the way, good effort!
