Guessing here -

1. Nothing to do with entertainment value as more cars through T1 at once would be more entertaining and the split start gives us half-screens of the fast and slow classes.
2. It spreads out the field so that a bone-head move by a fast/slow car won't take out a slow/fast car.
3. Reduces the accordian effect.
