Dixie Flatline should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
That's true. The Grands Prix Act 1994 (Vic) has provisions in relation to making money out of unauthorised video recordings of the event.

However, as far as I understand the legislation, it would not apply to simply re-broadcasting something off a television screen. But that is not to say that the broadcast rightsholder wouldn't have other avenues to pursue in order to close down the broadcast and obtain damages.
