Maximum speed during rolling starts?

I have a question concerning max. speeds during rolling starts. As AI cars will just overtake if one is not fast enough and driving too fast while trying to get back to the original grid position might result in penalties, I would like to ask what the maximum allowed speed during the first lap (with pace car) and the second lap (obviously higher) of the rolling start is. 2nd question: are these two speed limits given by rFactor or are they mod dependant? Thanks!

they are usually track dependent, set by how fast the AIW path for "left path" is determined. But it will not effect the ai cars, just the pace car. Cars always can drive any speed as long as they stay behind the pace car.

I was driving Rouen with CC06 and when the pace car entered the pit I lost my first place in the second lap of the rolling start. Car No. 2 was driving up to 200 kph in some places and when I tried to get my first place back, I received a stop&go as well as +1 lap penalty. I have only found a parameter called FormationSpeedKPH in the track gdb, but that one is probably for the pace car? But if speed limits in formation laps are not mod dependant I should also ask in another forum.
