Hi Jazzy,
Timing videos or vision that is recorded directly from the TV is problematic. This is due to things such as frame loss, compression issues etc. The only way to get it right is to have the technology which is substantial, that enables a live stream feed that is then digitally measured and verified from different points in the race.
In terms of getting the distances correct, we have these independently verified. Regulation distances are affected sometimes by different rail positions and other factors. Needless to say we are confident that we have these situations covered.
