Faster starts with BRM

I've been racing the BRM for about a week now and having been doing OK with it. In corners I feel that it is slighty better than most cars and with a little setup modifications it is just as fast as the Brabham and Eagle down the straights. Unfortunately my '89 Ford Tempo is faster off the line and out of hairpins(ie hairpin at Rouen, La Source) then the BRM is. Can anyone help me to get a faster start out of this car? -Adam

Don't know if there can be much done to speed up its low end performance. I think it has more to do with the engine in the car. Kinda like my Mitsubishi Eclipse, it seems slow at start and low revs but really hauls when up in the RPM's :-)

All ive been able to do is make 1st gear REALLY short. But then u mess up G2, which messes up G3....i suppose it cant be fixed.
