I agree. NZ for some reason hates standing starts in top level racing.

well if the guys could actually behave like racing drivers, instead ofvideo game drivers, perhaps they could have reliable standing starts!

Rolling starts have them all arriving at the first corner at the same time, goin balls-out on cold tyres. Recipe for disaster. A driver who cant set up and achieve a good standing start isnt a complete package.

Bit back to front. Rolling start would have warmed up the tyres a bit Standing start means the tyres get time to cool off a bit BUT with a hot patch where the tyre sits parked on the track.
Rolling start is a lot easier on tyres/ clutches etc etc

according to a convo i had last year with McLaughlin the V8ST have a much smaller than usual tollerance between stalling, starting off nicely and wheel spin. 500rpm total to cover all options.
Judging by how often the cars were stalling after the driver changes at taupo last year (50% at least) i would say that standing starts would be horrific unless then installed a different clutch setup or launch control.
all of which is $$$

well they should learn to drive, practice hill starts would help

a rolling start stops a driver jumping the start. so it is a wimp thing
