Oh yeah definitely that place is local! Sadly I have never been yet since it isn't open to the public. Can only go when they have public events going on. It's definitely on my bucket list to go though!
It's not a bug. The car reverts to a default state when starting up. There is nothing you can do to to get it to start up in a custom mode unfortunately.
This was literally the first race I have sat down to watch in my entire life and they couldn't complete a full lap under green flag without a crash. Made me wonder if they are normally like this lol. Glad the drivers are ok though.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that has saggy exhaust after installing a mid pipe lol. No matter how much I adjusted it, it ends up looking just like in the video.
