Russell Small’s 1.8 litre 300 break horsepower Audi has a top speed of 170mph and is worth in excess of GB pound 150,000. Security of the car has been entrusted to the Repels outdoor sensor, which operates like a radar fence, creating an invisible electromagnetic detection zone along the path of parallel cables that are supported by ground-mounted poles. Small’s pit engineers say that the system takes less than 20 minutes to set up. Once the support poles are in place, the required amount of cable is reeled out of the processor unit and simply switched on. As soon as an intruder approaches to within 1.5m of the detection zone, an alarm is activated.
