What's the question? They always use Euro style rolling starts for WC races.

Default uh, no...they don't...

unless "euro style rolling starts" means standing starts...

world challenge races have standing starts in both classes (touring car and gt)...

at mosport, they used a single file rolling start...like a restart after a full course caution...

Default Rolling start because of an accident on the formation lap

So therefore no standing start, a lot of disappointment from everybody for obvious reasons and me included.

Not sure if it was Espenlaub that ran into the tire wall because they gambled on running on slicks while everybody was on wet tires.
