Is it customary for people to stand in the middle of the starting lane?

It looks like a BMW press invite but normal track days, there is usually someone in pit lane to help maintain pit speeds and verification.

They usually run a A/B/C group configuration giving each group 30 min sessions.

around 90 seconds hes pulling onto the final stretch at aproximately 190kph and pins it and wheelies.... WTF?!?!? I'd piss myself doing a wheel at 50kph!

I love watching these races. Even just warm up / practice days are fun to watch.

Seeing him getting on the gas so early in the apex because of the traction control is unreal; it's like a subliminal form of cheating.

He's late braking, hucking it into the turns and mashing it early! Insane!!

Damn I want to demo one so bad!!
