Standing start: All cars stand still on the grind and when the light turns green, off they go.

Rolling start: All cars roll at a preset speed towards start/finish and on the greenlight off they go.

Running start: All cars are parked in a line and the drivers are across the track. On the greenlight drivers must run towards their cars, jump in, start and get away without hitting anybody.

I prefer a standing start because a standing start also tests the cars liftoff capabilities and the drivers reflexes. Never had a thing for a rolling start, dunno why. Runnign starts are just too dangerous, but fun to see. I even remeber a few instances were a driver at the mid of the field would run towards his car, jump in and start without buckeling his seatbelts, while the others were bussy buckeling their belt he would move towards the #1 spot. Not really fair if you ask me, but again fun to see.
