Get rid of it and put more racing on is what I say.
Have to admit I agree with you here. Not only V8ST's, but pretty much most big classes like V8SC's, WTCC etc. feel that need to drag out the start, maybe it is to "build excitement" - I don't know?

Drivers don't like sitting around in a hot car, mechanics and grid girls get sunburnt, spectators get bored etc. Only the media get any mileage out of it, which maybe is why they all feel the need to do it

I will use this time wisely to go make a snack and get a cold beer from the fridge!
