Revolution 909I'm thinking that start order is totaly random.
Well, I can't 100% speak for every copy of the game. Perhaps PAL is different, although I'd tend to doubt it.
I can speak for my copy and I can guarantee that the starting order is not random. It's entirely deterministic. From console reset, for a given race, for a given car and I can always repeat the exact same lineups. I just reinforced that idea last night in World Classics. Lineup #26 was the magic 200p lineup for the Skyline Sport Coupe. I reset the console.... 26 lineups later and there it is again.
The lineups DO depend on your car though. When I take the '54 Vette into the WC, the #1 lineup is always the same is it was for the Skyline (that is ALL cars should see the same first lineup). The first 5 lineups are probably the same, but then it will fork and the Vette will have it's own set of lineups.
Revolution 909After 100 or so trys to get the three Type S to show up in the Rx8 cup makes me think that each cup has a some a list of rules and a list of cars that is available to race in that cup.
The list of cars in the RX-8 cup are the three RX-8 available at the dealership, the concept and LM edition. The rule for this cup is that at least one of each RX-8 available at the Mazda dealership (RX-8, Type E and Type S) gets a place on the grid. (This could be wrong but I find that highly unlikely because it was true for every race I entered in this cup)
No, it's absolutely correct. In a couple manufacturer races, the lineup is static. Only the order changes. This happens when there are exactly 5 cars in the "pool". Vette! and Club "M" are two examples.

Congratulations!
