I've been reading the tyne met post and honestly I think a staggered start is a better option.
As you have said yourself, a GP start leads to a pile up at the first corner where someone brakes too early, spins out or generally just crashes and everyone goes into them and each other.
If everyone was on equal footing - such as a tournament final - then yeah, sure - but with a mix of newbies (i'm looking at me) and experienced drivers - It's a recipe for damage.
