The Traditional Running Start

From Tony and Michele Hamer, About.com

In keeping with tradition, the first four grids featured a Le Mans style start with the drivers running across the track to their cars. For safety reasons, this was just a symbolic start with cars retaking their positions behind the safety car for a more conventional rolling start. How would you like to be in the safety car when these Aston Martins and Ferraris came roaring up your tailpipe.
