Starts - losing 6-9 places every time
I cannot figure out how to do starts. In My Team I am winning pole by a 1-1.5 seconds. Every start I am losing at least six places - usually closer to nine. In the races I can generally comeback and ...

@dwin20 try this. For me the revs suggested in the video are too high, pre 1.07 I would keep them around 11k but now I struggle with anything above 9k. Have yet to nail race starts (also no assists), and usually lose 1-3 places off the line using the shifting strategy in the video (at lower revs), and make them back in the first few corners. Would be nice if I could hold position into the first corner!
Good luck 🖖🏽
@Monzstar83 Thanks - this was very helpful. I have used this site for setups - but had missed this video. The one thing I need to work through was this was the TV view and not the cockpit view - and so he had graphics on showing the actual RPM as opposed to what is available in cockpit view. Nonetheless there was a lot of really good info that I want to try out - thanks again.
@dwin20I also use cockpit view and usually keep throttle somewhere between the M and P of MPH above. If I figure out how to nail starts will let you know. Will also be interested to hear your experiences.

@Monzstar83 Still having huge problems. I am racing at a low AI level - so winning pole by wide margins - and generally pass a slew of cars during the race - but if at the start if I try and focus on doing just one start for a race I lose still more like 8-10 positions. If I do maybe 10 starts - I can get a start that I only lose to 5-6 places. It seems with my accelerator pedal that either I am at a low level or maxed out. I have no idea the revs I am at as it us not on the screen in the cockpit view. There is nothing under my MPH on the wheel. Additionally, in the first corner seem like I have no grip and usually a get a couple of more cars pass me.
Since you replied to me last I have probably done a hundred or more starts - always from pole - and my best result has been to get through the first corner in fourth place (twice).
Help!!
