Why change starting procedure from good to IMPOSSIBLE TO GET AWAY? UNNECESSARY

I mean, optimal revs are way too low, you almost anti stall when you do it like that without TC. Do it like that and you almost instant wheelspin until 4th or 5th gear, while the ai nails it perfevtl...

@JasVerstoppen038 The way the torque is released is too extreme. Like it’s not there, and suddenly you get it all. It’s like turbo lag from the 80’s. Shift….. wait for it…. Wait for it….. wait for it… BANG!

These cars feel like that, there’s no feeling of advanced engineering but like we are in the stoneages where torque and power isn’t there or it’s all there at once, and that’s not how these technical superb cars are supposed to feel.

Well, i have been trying many different ways to get off the line, but it simply sucks and you will lose places or spin all the way to Narnia…
WHY DID YOU CHANGE THE STARTING PROCEDURE?

  I have no issues with the start at all. I rarely lose places to the AI and every now and then I gain some.
  I didn't have issues with the start on F1 2021 either, but obviously they changed a lot to the handling model and it's easy to understand that they simply can not make last editions car behave the same as this editions car at the start of a race. It's not like they can flick a switch to change the start. They would have to change the handling completely.
  Now we do know that an update is coming for the handling to make the torque in lower gear more realistic. I advise to wait for that update and if you still feel like you can't get off the line then reply again.

    @zed08je0ot2v Do you use TC or not? Because without it is almost undoable IF you keep the “optimal” revs. The optimal is simply way to low for turbocharged engines with the ERS. When you pull away at those revs the turbo isn’t spooled up in a good window, hence all the torque releases instantly when you push the throttle to fast or hard.
    
    Plus I have watched lots of start procedures on F1TV with the onboard cams, the procedure and rpms haven’t changed this radical in real life. Starting rpms are almost to 100% identical in real life. Ingame the starting “optimal” revs are almost too Idle RPMS, where last years RPMS were close to real
    
    So there’s no excuse to suddenly change it ingame unless you built a new handling model and somehow managed to break the starting procedure.

@JasVerstoppen038 Just had this issue at Imola, I had an optimal parking position in the immersive mode, and still all the cars flew past like rockets on steroids. It’s so unrealistic the advantage the AI have which I use 70% AI
