FB Split Start at COTA

[Thomas Copeland]

The FB field will have a split start at COTA.

Have fun!

Yes! Here's how it should go down - FB's stage at the F1 starting grid. Rest of the group gets their opening lap, then drive down the front straight in formation and get a rolling start BETWEEN THE FB's, which then get a green flag about 30 seconds later, for anyone that survives the Atlantics and DSRs. Who's with me?!

[Reddog]

Standing starts are the only fair way to start a race ...

It ain't like trying to launch an FM from a dead stop, Mi Hermano!
In fact a bunch of us Yahoo's did just that a few times last year - it's really no big deal.

See ya in a few days, D Dubya!
