You then have the situation of one car just moving off from a standing start while another is screaming through at full race speed. That would be a recipe for disaster.
I was just thinking of a red flag which entailed cars restarting from the pitlane exit, at the appropriate intervals. A car about to be lapped (say, a second in front) of a leader, would be released just in front of it.
