we were able to tell the driver what was going so he held back. glad nobody was hurt

Unfortunately, the starter did not do what he was supposed to - he was not told to wave the green. He did that on his own.

 

The AI start was the third wave and it was just as bad for the second wave which was all NP01's. That was another one where the starter was not given the command to start the race, but he wasn't given the command to go yellow either since the car was just beyond his vision. He was looking at the cars coming out of 11 and not paying attention to the one sideways on the front stretch.

Here's footage from the 47 car. It's much more obvious that P1 took off as soon as the pace car pulled off. The green flag for our race didn't wave till 5 seconds after.

Here is the view from my car the 75 starting P2. Clearly P1 went on the NP01 green, and clearly 302 passed under yellow at the incident.

Last piece of undeniable proof here-

 

Video from the starter booth proving that a bad executive call was made (and then stood by when asked for a 2nd review) by NASA-

Clearly the 47 is the true AI Champion, and the 302 should be DQ'd. If NASA had any integrity at all they would fix it now. No matter what the official results show, we know the true finishing order and NASA knows they just messed up and don't have the humility to fix it now.
