My question is why The Stig starts a power lap from a stand still? Isn't a fast lap usually recorded after you've started the race and gained the momentum from the previous lap?
 
A fast car may pass over the starting line faster then a slower car so they start from a dig. thats my 2 cents lol

That's exactly why. The power laps are meant to compare the cars so a standing start is best.
