WHAT DOES STANDING START MEAN IN ENGLISH?

standing start

Standing start

A standing start is a type of start in auto racing events, in which cars are stationary when the race begins. In a standing start, cars are completely still but with their engines running when a green signal is given to start the race. This is often preceded by a set number of lights. Standing starts are common in many motorsports, including most single-seater, Touring Cars, drag racing, V8 Supercars, kart racing and many types of short-course off-road racing. The standing start often occurs following a parade lap. American-based series such as IndyCar, NASCAR, and SCCA have traditionally utilized rolling starts. However, in 2013, IndyCar adopted a rule for standing starts on a trial basis for selected events, and will continue to be used in 2014.
