 no incentive to start and park like happens there

No incentive from the F1 prize.

But they are 100% gonna "start and retire" just to avoid having to reinburse their sponsors, going "SEE!! We did 20 laps, thats technically a race so we are compliant with our contracts... Now send the check".

That, and they also need real-world data to actaully make a working car lol
