How the hell do you do them in these cars?! lol

In any which way i seem to add the power it spins in first! :?

Had two little plays with my g-tech earlier to see what i could get. They were all below the 7 sec mark but there is still so much more potential. Doesnt seem to bad mind you bearing in mind its a full interiored up car with the spare also. Oh and a mate. lol

One of my better runs:-

It's a lot easier to launch in a Williams due to the torque, so you can set off at 1800rpm, and it will pull. With the Valver its a case of spinning the wheels and keeping the revs up, or not spinning the wheels and bogging down lol.

I've found the best way is to launch at 2700rpm, and keep the clutch slipping for a tiny amount, to keep the revs up but stop the wheels spinning.

See ya
