At a speed of 311 km \ h disqualification. Will start from the runway, and before the start gate plane accelerated to nearly 280 km \ h and little sense to gain greater height to disperse no.
I don't think is correct to limit the skills of a pilot from start gate to end of race... the acceleration and the speed control is something to consider in the overall pilot performance of the race... With su26 is really easy to reach 350km/h that can be a good max start speed, from 351kmh up to 360kmh 2 second of penalty and above 370 disqualification... but I would prefer rules like real life

+1 let's apply real world rules... it's easier and more realistic http://www.redbullairrace.com/cs/Sat...21238614010221

Starting a race with speed near 370km/h is really difficult and challenging, why limiting it?
