Not sure if is "creative rule bending", but on a similar theme, I recall years back that during practice sessions at Donington Park, a certain saloon car driver (who happened to sell the same make as he raced  ) would sometimes come to a near standstill as he approached the esses before the start/finish line and then accelerate away to take in another flying lap.
It was suggested to me at the time that by doing this, he was able to get a much faster exit to the corner, with the resulting quicker lap.

don't follow, aren't the esses the left-right chican before the straight leading to the whatsamacallit hairpin which leads to the left onto the straight in front of the pits.
and if they weren't running the hairpin part, and continuing on straight towards the corner before the straight inf ront of the pits, how would stopping all the way back there help his exit speed out onto the pits straight?
btw, liked the article about Mosely etc.
