At the green hell, every one start with a rolling start, it's like qualification in
F1. They do a warm up lap and then one attempt (most of the time)
Remember it's almost 8 minutes long x 2 laps, it's very demanding for a time attack.
Notice the start and the finish line are different, the start line is at the end of the chicane and the finish is at the entrance.
It's the slowest part of the circuit, it's realy not an issue.
