Start them close to the starter not coming out of the turn. Over the years I have seen many a bad crash because of this practice. Or show them the yellow light in one if the start isn't to the starter's liking. I know, old school thinking  |
In addition to the flag and the lights, all drivers have a raceceiver in their ear in which the race director speaks through to tell them when a yellow or red flag occurs or where to line up. The command for a yellow on an aborted start is given by the time the drivers reach turn 1 where they are told to spread out and to roll out of the throttle after exiting turn two.
