Best Start Method

[TonyLomas]

Hi,
As drag racers will no doubt be the experts, I was wondering if you could tell me the best technique to get maximum speed from the start line?
Am I better off flooring the accelerator and letting it bounce of the limiter until it starts, or trying to maintain perhaps 4000 revs, or flooring the accelerator when it flashes up '1'?
Or does it depend on the type of car?

I'm sorry if this has been asked before but my searches on 'Fast Start' or similar returned loads of threads.

Thank you.

Bounce off the rev limiter, key is suspension and gearing to get a good launch.

There will always be wheel spin and that good because if they dont, it will bog down.

Set the launch gear long enough to not bounce off the rev limiter while in gear but not too much to bog down.
