We do standing starts in the UK and Europe and I have done them since i =
first started racing in 1980. I have been involved in 2 accidents, at =
Brands Hath and Spa where a stalled car caused a massive crash, =
unfortunately I was involved both times and had very large repair bills.
As you know I have also raced in the US and Canada and I have to say =
that rolling starts are way safer and i would love them to come to the =
UK and Europe.
