Change the starting spot before a race begins

forza-horizon-2

In almost every single player championship race I'm in, I have started in or near last place. It becomes a pain to navigate around the AI (especially when they brake-check you) when racing. Is there anyway I can start in 1st place before the race begins?

To answer you question simply: do worse.

The reason you are placed so far back in the starting queue is to add the challenge of getting past the cars in front of you. The better you do, the further back in the starting queue you will be placed.

It works in reverse too: if you do worse, your place will move further toward the front, to remove the (initial) challenge of the other racers.
