There was me thinking we had a speedway rulebook, rather than AI, Google or Wikipedia (none of which are known for their accuracy). If you don't want to listen to me, fair enough. But I suggest that you do listen to David Howe - a former rider and current team manager - who might understand a bit more about track limits and when and where they are exceeded. And just to clarify, since I realise you haven't even bothered to watch the video, the screenshot on the Scunny website shows the clearest image. The back wheel goes further onto the centre green in the following frames, but they're not as clean an image. I really would recommend watching the slo-mo video from the rear angle instead. It's on BSN. I would also recommend watching Heat 8 from the first leg and the blatant tyre warming. Without that, the tie would have never gone to a Super Heat in the first place. -

also from google.... The Speedway Control Bureau (SCB) Regulations define the "white line" itself as the official boundary of the infield. [1] The rule book phrases it with strict technical phrasing under two specific rules that work together: The Infield Line Definition (Rule 05.1.4a): It states there must be "a continuous line to define the inner edge of the track circuit." The SCB formally interprets this white painted line as being part of the infield itself, meaning the precise "inner edge" of the racing track is exactly where the dirt track meets the outer edge of the white paint. [1] The Point of Disqualification (Rule 012.1.11): Because the white line counts as the infield, the regulations do not require a tyre to cross 100% over the line to be in breach. The rule strictly penalizes "a rider whose machine crosses the inner edge of the track with 2 wheels." [1, 2] In practice during a referee review, if any part of the tyre tread simply touches the painted surface of the white line, that wheel is legally deemed to have left the track. If both tyres touch or cross onto that white paint during a corner, it triggers an immediate red light disqualification, unless the safety or crowding exemptions apply. [1, 2] -

Sorry but you are wrong... It says fully cross so @Grachan is correct!
