Are you aware that standing starts are considered safer than rolling starts because speeds at the first turn are lower?Quote:

Enjoy
Standing starts are fun to watch in F1. They're part of F1 culture. However, indeed a dumb move by someone could end this tragically. I think F1 fans still vividly remember the crash at the 2012 Belgium GP, where a flying Lotus could have easily chopped off Alonso's head. But then, that's the way motorsport is. IndyCar, NASCAR, and WRC cars do stupid dangerous things as is without standing starts.
IRL shouldn't do standing starts, we are not friggin' Champ Car!
Your way of thinking is wrong. We are all now Indycar as we where in 90s, yes with a joke of the product that once was.Many of us united again support and love Indy and open wheel. I strongly suggest you do the same. Looking forward to the future and hope for open developement and competition with new ideas from some great people and enjoy having honest conversation with passionate fans who want this thing to secede.Standing starts ,why not,mixed up.Quote:

Have you ever seen a race?Quote:

Tony, I wouldn't waste my time with this poster. First, he/she doesn't know as much about racing as they think they do and second, by using a derogatory term about a prior series, it looks like he/she is just trying to pick a fight. Don't take the bait.
