Not as close as it looked on TV - not sure why there isn't a line visible in the picture?

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.

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!

This photo is clearly from a previous, intergalactic travel. We're not fooled this easily, FIA!
