Ok, so it seems pretty clear what's allowed on grid as far as passive
tire warming.
 
It seems to me, however, that it would be perfectly legal to do a drag
style burnout at the green flag, scoot forward a bit, throw it in
reverse, burn out some more, do donuts (course width permitting),
etc.... all before the starting lights.  Getting the drive wheels warm
should be a piece of cake, but with a bit of imagination, it should be
possible to get the other wheels (if any) warm as well and still get a
good run at the lights.
 
Anything wrong with that? I don't have a rulebook handy, so maybe
there's some X.Y, "at the green flag, driver shall progress without
detour or excessive tire spin towards the lights," but I don't remember
anything like that. 
 
Cheers
