How to get a good start?

Hi.

The start has always been a problem for me in f1 games. I don’t use any assist and the Fanatec advanced podium clutch to get decent starts. This worked pretty well in previous editions but not this year.

although the clutch is mapped, this does not seem to work and I’m constantly spinning! Even in 3dr gear.

So I decided to set assisted start and to my surprise it does not work either.

i cannot see any differences. I have to quickly shift gears and accelerate gradually even with start assist on.

anyone else noticed this?

Thanks for your feedback.

    There's a green bar that shows your throttle application. Fill it up to about a quarter. That's basically full RPM when you are standing but not when you start moving. When lights go out, gradually increase and short shift. My starts have been far from perfect but at least I can sometimes match the AI and not lose any positions. They are a bit too op at starts this year I think.

  • @Zv1k0 Thanks for the tip. I already do that but the clutch does not seem effective and assisted start is pretty useless.

    Have the clutch on my gear up paddle (Button).

    (Without TC) I push 1/5% the green throttle advertisement.

    When red lights are out, i go up in 2nd gear and 1 second later in 3rd. gear.

    On 3rd i go slow to 3/4 green throttle lights at that point comes a moment and i go to 100% throttle.

    Not sure if it was good but when i start, i dobt lost places. 

  • While on last years game you could just floor it and then release the gas pedal up to the point where the wheels are not spinning anymore, on this years game it seems to be the other way around: Around 7.000rpm and then try to upshift as soon as possible without stalling too much.
