Define Grid for Formation/Standing Start

Not sure, but from what I read in the documentation the alternate grid seems to be for the rolling start only. Not option to set it for other types of start.
But could be wrong or incomplete information; How is the LeMans start done in the LeMans track from S397? Is this just the normal grid or an alternate grid? Wasn't there also a Nordschleife version that had more than one grid to make the VLN group starts possible? I'm not sure if this isn't just a smart way to use the normal grid or if there was anything with alternate grids.
 
extract from Lemans2022.gdb
// DefaultScoring overrides
FormationAndStart=2 // formation lap with rolling start (safety car leads the field and peels off into the pits)
RollingStartLoc=1 // Start from alt grid
PitlaneBoundary = 1 // whether track has a defined pitlane, if 0 you must request a pitstop before your vehicle is serviced
GarageDepth = 2.0 // distance before AI begin steering upon leaving garage
RacePitKPH = 60.0
NormalPitKPH = 60.0
FormationSpeedKPH = 98.5
PitsClosedLaps = 0
MinimumYellowLaps = 1
 
I maybe made a total mistake in Thinking. :D
I have to recheck the Situation.

EDIT No, it's correct. There is no Setting or Way, with that you can force the Use of Grid or AltGrid for the Formation/Standing Start, when you want to use the Grid for the standing Start and the AltGrid for the Formation/Standing Start
The only availabe Settings, that i know, are

FormationAndStart=

where
0=standing start, 1=formation lap & standing start, 2=formation lap with rolling start (safety car leads the field and peels off into the pits), 3=use track default, 4=fast rolling start
and
RollingStartLoc=
where
0= Grid, 1= ALT-Grid
