I can't remember the last time I needed to hit the start button while shifting on a racetrack. Perhaps I am missing out on a vital technique.

If (god forbid) your car dies on the track you can simultaneously shift out of whatever gear you were in, back into 1st, depress the clutch pedal (and brake pedal if necessary), and hit the start button at the same time.
Wouldn't it just be easier to grab 1st (or 2nd) and pop the clutch to restart the car?

In your scenario the car is still moving. In mine, you've (probably) gone off track, controlled your skid, and come to a stop.

And yeah, it's just a friendly conversation.
