Yes, that's the rule. We've got that well established. The question is it a start or a restart? A Jared points out, it sure seems like it is a 'start.' What's your interpretation?
Perhaps a collection of case studies could be appended to the rules for clarification.
There is a companion program to Airio, called Aonio that, among other things, will track some of your stats in both on and offline mode. These stats are stored on your machine, so you can only compare your numbers to others who raced at the same time as you, or to the World Records.

Session of Incident: Race
Lap and Timecode of Incident:50 --1:16:00
Your car number: 38
Other cars involved: 48
Brief description of incident: Under caution #38 loses a position to #48 after #48 passes most of the field on the apron on approach to the pit.
Tonight's event takes place at a slighty modified Aston Cup layout. Qualifying starts at 2200 UTC, followed by two 8 lap races. Track note: Because I don't want to deal with checking for cutting, I've removed a couple of poles from one of the chicanes. Driving on the grass there is allowed.
Because of the attendence, tonight's event was called off and has been rescheduled for next week, July 14. Please note the new starting time of 10pm UTC (6pm Eastern). Please see the OP for the new schedule.
It was good to see you out, Ullar. You and I almost had a bit of a draft sequence going, but our rustiness let us down. Hope to see you in the next race.
I'm sorry for my part in the single safety car period. I didn't have a whole lot of time to react, but I imagine I could have managed not to hit #121 right between the eyes.
Congrats Phil. Too bad your strongest competition timed out and/or quit.
I actually had a pretty good time. During my race, I was mostly trying to stay out of trouble and trying to shake off the rust. Late in the race I was moving along pretty well and I was happy to not be last.
The decision to start early was, in hindsight, was not the best, but no one at the time raised any objections, and I was happy we didn't have to wait the extra 25 minutes. For the 2 guys that arrived after the race started, but before the scheduled race time, that was unfortunate and probably unfair. Clarify the times to allow for early starts.
The clearing of the penalty was wrong, and I don't think that decision will be made again.
After watching the replay, I'm not convinced that Ray deliberately turned into me. Reputations being what they are, though, I don't discount the possibility.
I'd like to see more straightforward instruction and conversation. Being sarcastic only leads to misunderstanding. We aren't all friends, nor should we need to be friends to be able to race and have fun, just civil.
Anyway, I'll give it another try next time, see you there.
