				Agreed, but a good starting grid won't help much, when after the start everyone tries to get the only nitrous in the middle of the road  
 
 Interleaving and skewing the rows gives a good layout that gives everyone a bit of room to weave through slower drivers.
 
 However, some tracks are too narrow for rows of 4 cars, and in those cases it's better to make rows of three or two cars. 
 
 An alternative would have six skewed rows of 3 cars each (up to spawn #18 ), then interleave seven rows of 2:

				| 1    2       
   ||    9    10   
 | 3    4       
   ||   11   12          
 | 5     6      
   ||   13   14  
 | 7     8       
   ||   15   16  
 
 Then just fill in the gaps with to more blocks of 2x4, and u get 32 spawns in a perfect grid.
 
 As you can see, theyre staggered, just leave atleast 4 car lengths between the first 8 spawns, and you'll have plenty of room.
