I'm not smart enough to figure out how to start a race. I'd imagine it's like the real thing, which I still don't have a clue. It's kind of frustrating wanting to race and can't for lack of knowledge or documentation with the game. Some of these racing games try to be super realistic in every aspect when it really just needs to be a game. Maybe that should be in the suggestion box, add some race start options. Till then, the 60 min practice sessions are goo goo gobs of fun.
