That's a good point, the wording really is ambiguous, but I think the proper wording for what you're interpreting would be "performed with the aid of/performed involving", as performed with seems very direct. But as I said, it is rather ambiguous, I think it'd be more clear to say "performed driving a combine harvester", although it isn't stylistically correct, it is way more clear. I hope the judges will agree with your point of view to avoid conflict & someone having wasted their time due to a "misinterpretation" of the objective.

Haha not that. When you look at how it is written, you'll get the fact it has more meanings. If it said 'performed in...' I'd understand that as driving the vehicle, but since it says 'performed with...' I take it as I can use the vehicle in any way. Also, I wouldn't be happy if you say my entry is corrupt just because of someone's imperfect english.
To be fair, he asked me, and I told him that it says "with" a combine harvester. He performed a stunt "with" a combine harvester, just hung on a magnet instead of driven.
