Do you smash the gas or do you use the Tip Tronic? Also what other settings are you in? Sport 2 I'd assume and just smash the gash on 3rd honk?

Depending on what speed I'm at, I downshift with the paddle shifters to the right gear leaving the tranny on S mode and I most defenitely do not just smash on the gas otherwise I will go no where.

I ease into it and let her rip when I think she catches. I leave tracion on everytime I race no matter what. Its my way and it has worked for me. A little practice and getting to know your car and tires your good to go .

Ok is there reason why you leave that on ? I thought we turn ESP off everytime we race (from a dig) ?

I'd assume 2nd gear would be your power gear? Nice, gotta try it when I get my car.

I personally have a hard time taking off the line with traction off. I have tried with a Vbox that I borrowed and still have from a member you. My best numbers always came with traction on no matter how many times i tried.

Depending at while MPH you start at. If I'm going to start the race at 20 mph I will be on 1st gear and if I start at 50mph I will be on 2nd gear. You will understand once you try it out for yourself. Normally or from experience every race I ever do starts either in 1st or 2nd with out E55's. You will get it once you try it out.
