We were forced to go back to square one.
Explanation:
I think this race was a failure, therefore the racing team members were so forced to go back to square one as to start their racing strategy over from scratch.

Return(ed) to the starting line


Explanation:
assuming that 降り出し is a typo for 振り出し, as cinefil mentioned.
it would be either "return" or "Returned" depending on context.

Good luck!
