You go out in practise and the motor starts missing after a couple of laps, and it does not matter what you do, it cannot be corrected.  When that happens, you have lost your entry money and your travelling expenses. Road racing is too expensive for that to happen. A Lucas SR magneto does not have windings and capacitor within an armature.  Everything in the SR magneto is easy to replace at a race circuit. The magneto does not need to be sent away for some dud to attempt a repair. In Australia, there used to be only one guy who could successfully repair a K2F. With the SR magneto, I did not even carry a spare capacitor or a coil. It worked perfectly every time.  My 500cc Triton used to rev to 10,500 RPM. The racing magneto on a Manx Norton is usually rotating magnet - none of this windings and capacitor in an armature stuff.
