Just what IS a jump start?

[RaceTime]

Maybe someone can figure out what is going on in the vast expanses of open space collectively called Race Control?

FIA and CAMS state that once the red light has come one - NO MOVEMENT of a vehicle may take place - if a vehicle DOES move then a Jumped Start has taken place and the vehicle is to be penalised. The V8 rules make no mention of this in any way, therefore NCR's then FIA rules apply. Note that there is not and never has been any mention of the words 'gain advantage' in any rules applicable to jumped starts.

Now - given the propensity of a few officials to penalise HRT over the years for the movement of their cars by as much as 5 cm (believe it!!!) and give a stop/go, why wasn't Marcus Ambrose penalised for his movement over the control line AFTER the red light came on in Race 1 at Winton? (And yes - I have reviewed the tape for the start, the light comes on and then he took off, stopped and waited for the red light to go out).

I ask because it has become so patently obvious recently that the decisions being made by key V8 Championship 'officials' are so inconsistent that I wouldn't trust them to make a cup of coffee for me any more - I would never know what I would be getting.

Anyone else have any (serious) thoughts on this? Pepsi??
