"I must admit I've wondered why all clubs don't follow the same procedure."

Because with 40 races to get through, and a rolling lap taking in the order of 1 minute, the extra laps add significantly to the length of the programme.

Throw in a local householder who will complain if the site overruns by a single minute and you have a situation where any hold up, a red flag for instance, means that seconds have to be shaved off the programme. Typically it means that clubs cut down on the number of final laps in general because it is better publicity to have a short final as standard than have to announce that the finals are being cut down.

There is another problem, people get used to two rolling laps. So they exceed the sensible 'cool' tyres limit in the same way as they did the old 'cold' tyres limit, so the first corner accident just gets faster.

then people campaign to move the start even closer to the corner and the whole cycle starts again.

The MSA is aware of the problem, but the need for 'proof' means it is very difficult to award penalties that will discourage risky driving that will survive the first appeal to 'reasonable doubt'.
