1979 or 1980 was the last time they pushed the cars onto the grid. By 1981 they did a parade lap instead around to the grid, did the pageantry then straight into the race.

As Alan says 1987 was the first time they did a proper warmup lap just prior to the race start, from memory it was two warmup laps in 1987 too? Did they have a warm up session in 1987, or did that come in for 1988?
