Not sure what point you are making, I very much doubt that the camera footage shot be a professional production crew would be available at the event, on the day. Tape based cameras couldn't be rewinded if they are already involved in shooting the next final, it's also a recipe for taping over something you just shot. If you're talking post event, how long have you got got to lodge an appeal? I was shooting at whilton the following weekend, and it's only come to air 2 months later (?). If you're talking about mum or dad with a handycam, I could be wrong but I think any steward is at his own discretion about who or what representations/evidence he will take. I'd not be surprised if he's free to ignore video tape, and his discretion accept representations from other drivers, and can just accept his own and judges of facts for evidence. Could be wrong, though.
Personally any multicamera shoots I've been involved with there was a clear understanding that my cameramen would not rewind tape under any circumstance for any driver to look at, and that production would only ever do so at the specific request of the steward, and then in only a serious H & S incident.
To suggest that having cameras at events will lead to more problems, certainly if you're talking about video production company for broadcast, etc. will kill promotion of the sport, most coverage at this level of motorsport is done on a really small crew, just enough to cover the circuit, and if you're then having to deal with officialdom they'll not touch it, it's bad enough trying to get an onboard cameras through scrutineering, I assume this is why they only had one onboard camera.
Which having just watched the whole programme from a karting and production point of view, it cried out for onboard footage (to immerse, and turn on the casual viewer to the driver experience, it's one thing I am always, and I mean always asked to do). An onboard in every final would have added way more than the indulgent use of camera jib/crane.
