Having watched a lot of motor racing in the US I am a big believer in rolling starts. Yes, problems do occur still but it eliminates stalled cars on a grid being hit plus removes that period of sitting where tyres cool whilst the back of the grid forms up.
This likely could have prevented the Brands collisions between Neal and Turkington plus Simpson and Plato. Not to mention Hunter Abbots truly horrific crash at Snetterton last summer.
