Unfortunately there will always be the perception of "someone else has an advantage"
This tru start does not change the fact the slow car has to start first, possibly make the red light first. It does not prevent the fast car from controlling the race with the throttle or brake.( some might complain the slow car can do the same)
In the spirit of the break out win to the least amount "out", it seems perfectly reasonable that the win should go to the "least red" if it happens. (statistically low number). Display of the results to the racer after the finish line seems most reasonable. Bigger lane lights on the guard rail would be reasonable and Score board Win light for spectators...
For those who have worried so much about the "fairness" of current method maybe this would quiet their fear of it happening. (despite the facts of low rate of it happening)
This would help Heads up racing too.
