Yes I know I should know all this but I have only ever done one rolling start and I am not clear what is required. I have read up 12.1B it does not say very much except the obvious.

On a 2x2 rolling start do you have to wait till you cross the start/timing line before you can over take as for a safety car restart or can you start the over take the moment the lights turn green or waved green flag at the start line.

Generally you can overtake as soon as the red lights go out Perry. Every rolling start we've done has been like that anyway!

your not going to like this perry but it depends whose running the race.

I've done some where you go as soon as the lights go green, and others where you have to wait to the line..

It was good watching you work your way back through the field though !!

You'll be ready for it next time... not long now.
