There is no line because this is a photo finish. The camera is set up at the line and only records a single pixel width. The shorter the car, the faster it was travelling, whichever car is in front crossed the line first.
Quite a good explainer, just found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGNgINohags
Writing a script to demonstrate the difference was very clever.
Oh that was really cool
Also interesting where he explained why you can see the branding/logo in the background. I wouldn't have even noticed that (or I would have assumed it was photoshopped in.)
The comment above makes more sense after watching this. Thanks for sharing!
