Add standing starts

I think standing starts are more fun.

Just standing or also some kind of game mechanic to get a good/bad start?

If you have standing starts. A Red, Red, Red, Green (slightly randomized timing) light countdown would be cool and you have to nail the green light reaction time to get a slightly boosted start.

Definitely with a good/bad mechanic
Preferably with a "lights out" design, such as in F1.
The timer for the lights going out is random, so the faster you react, the better is your start. If you steal the start you get a penalty (i.e. 1.5 secs)
