The Start of a Race

The start of a race is the most exciting and the most dangerous. First, drivers must anticipate the start. If you hit the gas just before the flag falls, you will accelerate faster than anyone who hit the gas later than you. As you reach the end of a straight, this could mean several positions. Depending upon your starting position, it may be wise to stay out of the chaos and wait for the impending spins and crashes. Avoid them and you could gain several positions.
