The other thing to be careful with is what happens at the other end.
The beep for the first car starts the 'master clock' which sets the 5 mins needed for the race. When that finishes there is a set time to finish your final lap before it declares 'race over'. For my club its normally set a 45 seconds.
Why does this matter? Well with a 2 second stagger, car 10 starts 18 seconds after car 1. When the 5 minutes warble sounds, car 1 has 45 seconds to finish his final lap, but car 10 (who's race doesn't actually finish til 5.18) gets only 27 seconds.
This means novice drivers with long lap times are more likely to timeout their final lap starting at the back of the grid than the front.
