Are you sure of this? The combustion engine of 2012 TS030 supposedly did not have a starter motor. See

The "400 meters on hybrid power in pitlane" rule is just a test to be classified as a hybrid LMP1.
It is not a requirement to do this is race conditions. Such requirement was the plan at one stage for F1 in 2014.
