Here's an explanation of a photo finish using the same technology from a stage in last year's Tour de France.


The difference is cyclist move significantly slower than race cars. Pro level cyclist in a sprit hit about 40 mph.

Another problem with the system is it assumes all the object are traveling at the same speed (or relatively close to the same speed). It's also compressing a 3 dimensional space into 2 dimensions. To under stand the problem with this, you should read the book "Flatland" by Edwin Abbott Abbott.

Were the cars not going similar speeds when going for a race win?

What is your and Edwin's suggestion if this technology is unacceptable?
