Re: Grid Starting Position
Yes, the yellow line seems to be positioned a bit differently from real life.
That said, they're for reference only and what part of the car ends up lining up with it depends on the car you're driving, as they all have different wheelbases (front axle - rear axle) and different distances between the front axle and the nose. It is all in millimeters, but they pile up.
The yellow line is often referred to as Sighting Line or something to that extent. The only thing that really matters is the car being fully boxed in the white lines.
I wish they could mimic the real life distance to the grid white lines too, but (1 ) as long as the grid positioning boxes up with the white lines correctly and ( 2) the yellow line is consistently placed in the game, I'm ok with it. They'd still be functioning as a good reference for stopping the car.
