Yes, the game has different icons for stop-and-go or drive-through. And indeed it does have a red light at the end of pit lane until several seconds after the start. Live and learn, I guess.
I started sixth or seventh -- on the inside. Had good start; Ed played it safe and stayed wide which allowed me into fifth ever so briefly. I figured that wouldn't last long, and stayed well wide on the second lap when he got a run. Back to sixth. Antti had an issue at the chicane after a few laps and we both got past him. Then he and I shared mistakes, with a rubber-banding gap until ultimately he crashed in the final corner. I relaxed a little too much after that and spun, and later went off wide and smacked the Armco. That put Bryan within a couple seconds or so for a while. He seemed to have a slow pitstop as there was quite a gap after that, and he struggled to get bast Jon who I guess did not pit.
So then it was quite lonely, with 20+ seconds in front and behind. Ed crashed near the end so I inherited fourth place -- last car on the lead lap.
