hi

i am new and i want to start racing and learing about cars. how do i launch my car at the tree? its a five speed. should i redline at every gear or just go to like 6800 rpm or so?

how do i shift fast while still being east on my clutch? (or is that even possible:laugh: )

how do i practice "fast" starting? i live in the country so i geuss i could find a long striaght road but that is kindof illegal. ive already got 2 tickest and i dont need any more.

well thanks for your time.

They sell practice trees for launching (RT). As far as what RPMs try to find a chart showing your gear ratios aswell as a powerband this should tell you what RPM's to shift at. To understand gear ratio: ex

1st gear = 2.86
this means that the axles will revolve once for every 2.86 revolutions of the engine.
