N3: jumping start/restart

In N2 it used to be very easy during the pace lap to back off for the
restart and then time your acceleration so as to get a run on the cars
in front when the flag goes green.  Have they cured this in N3,
otherwise I can see serious problems with online races that use pace
laps.

I believe this has been fixed.  If you jump the start too early, you get black
flagged.

In N3 they changed were the green flag comes out at, but with "retraining"
people can learn to time their "jumps".

The solution to this problem is either race with people you can trust not to
jump, or in leagues were the officials will penalize the jumpers based on
replays.
