Yeah it's honestly optimal for that. Basically it's full open passing with 1 warm-up lap. Most people run RE71RS's or CRSv2's so they are basically good to go on the first lap, but given it's complete open passing you're usually fine if you do your first lap at 8-9/10ths. Oh, also they put you in Grid based on times, so you generally can keep a good gap between the next car for a while.
