As far as I know the timeout at the end of the race applies to each 5 minute run individually. So if you start 10th with a 1 second stagger between cars and the timeout is say 30 seconds, you would have ~40 seconds from when the main 5 minute timer (started by car 1) finishes.
It'd be a bit unfair in the lower heats if the timeout started when the first car finished!
