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 ...

@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!!
@dwin20 I was struggling really bad too, but this video helped. I found that you just can’t go above 9 k revs to get a good start. Its really critical you can see the actual revs in rumbers or you will never have any consistency. If you can’t see it in cockpit cam, could you turn the hud on for starts.

Having my revs around 10K works for me, I am actually able to gain on the AI at times
In F1 2021 I was really bad at starts but in this game I'm still to have a bad start. If I don't get any places at least I'm able to continue where I started. Just don't put much throttle so your revs don't get to high. If you look at the MFD it says when you have the right amount of revs, when you see that just try to maintain the throttle like that and wait to release the clutch. When you release the clutch don't get full throttle immediately or you will have a lot of wheel spin and may even spin. Just go casually applying throttle as you gain more speed.
PS: Although I'm playing with a pad and with auto gears, having a wheel/pedals and manual gears are way easy to get better starts.

I havent played this years game on controller. But my opinion on last years game was it was easier to do starts with controller, it seemed very OP. Thats with no assist.
might be a bit different this year.
