Our regular F1 club race in Camarillo this dude Don brings out a safety / pace car ... we line up in position with safety / pace car in front and then we do one slow lap around... some folks rocking the wheels back and forth then line up back in position... it is pretty cool to watch...

If anyone gets a chance, I'd like to see a video of that next time he does it for you! It may sound funny, but driving that controlled low speed formation lap is a lot harder than racing for some people. When I was racing VTA, we did rolling starts for the main and some would drop way back, where others were unintentionally hacking other drivers. They simply couldn't handle that kind of throttle control. Maybe a rev limiter button would work.

it's true, car control at slow speed is a challenge for many... The announcer has to constantly remind us for the entire lap to not hit the car ahead of you... I will try to remember to have someone take video next time... a couple years ago we also tried yellow flag with a safety car that would come out during the middle of the race, all cars slow down and line up behind the leader... talk about a clutter F*%^#... I still think it would be cool to do... maybe we need to start a F1 driving school to get your super license...

We are going to try rolling starts. F1 is small at our track with a max of five cars showing up. All of the drivers are pretty good so it might work out. I guess we have a rare class since our f1 guys are more concerned with being clean than winning. I think we only need corner marshals 2 or 3 times a race. Makes is more fun. Best part is the f1 guys also run usgt so that class is very clean too.

Some pics from last night's meet. I broke mine in practice, so I dusted off the pace car, which can be seen in the background. I mounted the roof-top camera, but forgot to put the memory card in properly. Doh!

Someone rocked up with a freshly built F104W GP and proceeded to give a driving lesson

i get the 'racing the clock,wanna go superfast thing'. but lapping with others that hold clean,respectfull driving in high regard is refreshing and very enjoyable. it may not be harryhardcore racing as such but it is skillful in its own right and quite often is great for spectating i am lucky to get to drive with a group of enthusists who also 'believe' its hella good fun with some epic battles(and epic failures to)

Not sure how much of it is simulating . When running foams with traction compound, you typically want to do a lap or to get rid of the excess compound ...and that's with a 'no skid marks' policy in place, so tyres are rubbed down before the cars are put on the track.
