I find that the engine bogs a lot with medium revs. If I try more revs I
spin off sideways :) I'm in the Murasama BTW (good car that) but I
assume the theory is the same for all.
(I have a MS wheel/pedals and a clutch button)
Thanks

Why don't you spend an hour or so training starts? Just learn how to use
the clutch, how to accelerate out of stillstand, how to compensate the
rev-hit, when you release the clutch, and all that sort of things. The
track is yours during free practise, so use it! I've painted the whole
start-/finish-straight of Monza black until I got used to good starts,
but who cares? ;)))

Luck,
Do they have cold tire or not ?
Also, i was so annoyed that i decided to catch an AI up and to crash
it from the rear, i did it on the 2rd corner ( left one ), i was happy , because
a thought it
was going to crash on the side road, but, instead, the AI crash me from
the right side ! I've watched the replay, and the AI managed to put right is car
a way it's impossible to do !!!
Is there a tweak for this ?
I know GPL can't compute physics for all AI, but it's very annoying that AI
can do impossible things. :o(

A common problem, which I'm afraid can only be solved (and yes, it can
be solved) by lots of practice.
I find it best to hold the revs steady near the redline, release the
clutch and ease of the gas slightly at the green flag, and then put
the power back on with some throttle. As soon as the car begins to
slide to the side, decrease the power. As soon as the tires grip
again, increase the power.
The most important thing is to learn the way the wheels sound as
they're spinning. Soon you'll be able to know exactly when to ease off
and when to speed up just by listening to a wheel spin, as I do

also i think using the clutch is overrated.
even with all aids off, GPL gives you a kind of autoclutch for starts
anyway. Even if you use a manual clutch its still there.
I just hold the revs at around 7000 rpm or so (depends on gearing and car)
when the flag goes down i slam it into first, the compensate with the
throttle to keep the revs up and wheelspin to a minimum (a small amount of
wheelspin for a second or too is just about right). I always beat the AI
this way, and all my mates aswell.

Griffin.

that's right, but you loose about half a second or more, because there
is a delay between the pressing of the shift-button and the actual
shifting.

well its definately NOT half a second. anyway what about the delay in
activating the clutch(digital or analogue)

Put the car in gear before the green flag...
I'm using a button for the clutch (till my home made peds are ready).
I put the car in 1st gear, rev the engine up to 5000rpm or so, and when the
flag goes down I release the clutch and slam the throttle at the same time.
Back off the throttle a little before the wheels start spinning and I'm off
the line fast and easy (mostly...)

Why? Because you get a better start than the AI? Nah, if it was cheating,
you'd get the black flag...
