Seems odd that an Indycar driver would use PTP at the start. Maybe I read that the PTP was used too early like before they got to the start/finish line.
Doesn't matter. The point is that in the lower gears those cars can light up the tires. Why would a driver need more power while just getting going? In my experience just watching it seems that PTP is primarily used at high speeds to ward off a challenge for position or to overtake. Not coming off corners.
Like I said, correct me if need be.

This is not true, I will find the regulation later.
