experiencing wheel hop at launch? Wheelhop kills boost. Try keeping your revs at about 3800/4000 rpm just as you and your opponent stage up. You want to react at the third amber, not the green. Relese your clutch at the same rate that you would during normal driving, but when your cltch is released about 75% of the way, gas it to the floor. This is what I do to limit spin and launch effectively. Its a feel thing rather than something you learn from some guy typing it out on a forum, but hopefuly it gives you a good staroff point to come up with your own strategy. Hope this helps.
