How to drag race?

[=DTT= Wolfgangamedeus]

Im probably just being really stupid but, i cannot get a good launch when drag racing. How can i get a great launch and actually win. Thanks

If you're using a 360 controller, you really can't. If you're using a wheel with a clutch and shifter, you simply rev and feather the clutch release.

ya im using an xbox controller. Ill rev the engine just under the limit when it auto switches, but then i get a slow slow launch.

I was bad at it too, till i counted the seconds it would go green, than i can start quick and get ahead right from the start.

I also put 5L of fuel in, change the camber and toe to go with flat straight roads, reduce the rear wing and then floor it lol.

Oh, if you want you can listen to the AI, they rev up pretty much the same time before the lights go out each time (although you won't hear them if you are revving).

Switching traction control off in drag race helps, get a fast launch.

Yep - that was my problem weeks ago and turing TC off helped a ton,

About the only way I could get a half decent launch with a 360 controller is to turn off traction control as others have stated and do not rev the engine until you hear the other car rev his. When that happens that means the light is about to turn green. Just wait until you hear the AI rev his engine, then throttle wide open, should give you a decent launch, just not optimal.

How do you turn off traction control?

I got gold in all but evora so far,My method is-No assists,10l fuel,Zero aerodynamics,you might want to adjust tyre pressure too(2-3psi up or down),and most importantly count yourself in,one,two,three on the amber lights,then keep counting, launch on the count of seven,get the count right you'll breeze it.hope this is of some help,have fun :)
