RWD launch... tips anyone?
as the title says, having trouble launching the car off the line...
generally (on my old tyres) a good launch could be achieved by sitting the car at 4k and letting off the clutch in a controlled manner, with the rear end lurching to the right a little it set off nice...
but now i cant seem to launch... it just sits on its arse and the revs drop and... nothing.
any tips on the launch, i want to get some practice in before doing the strip!!

surface will be SO different for grip at the strip i dont think practicing on the road will tell you fuck all mate, esp as you have launched plenty of times before.
you need to go to the strip n practice there. sometimes its grippier than the road, quite often on normal non-prepped days its much slippier.
you having too much or not enough grip now? cant tell what you mean.
