I've just been watching (mainly due to my father being a motorcycle racing enthusiast) coverage of the British Superbike championship from Donington Park. In one of the junior races for youngsters on small-capacity machines, the race finished in a dead heat; times were identical to the thousandth of a second, and the photo finish, shown on screen, demonstrated that there was no visible winner whatsoever. How often has a dead heat been declared in our form of motorsport, though? I'm aware of two instances of attempted dead heats - Le Mans 1966 being the obvious example, and the US GP in 2002, but I'm not aware of any instances of a dead heat being the official result.
