Question is, is that how it really works in free-run mode?
Also, what's the risk of having frozen black screens (staying on the track when race starts)? I'm not sure if it depends whether you're running on the track at full speed vs staying put?
I'm all for testing it.
Also have an idea meself:
Run a 1 lap test race prior to actual race.
Finish in the reverse order of Official Qualy Results.
So 14th must finish 1st, 13th to 2nd, etc.
Next, set next race to its proper distance (laps)
Then, set starting grid in reverse finishing order from previous race.
Start Race - and we are in order :]
Do parade lap and we're good!
We can even do standing starts if we want to.
