Hard launch.
Should you momentarily bang it off the limiter before up-shifting to 2nd? What do you think?

Change before the limiter. Banging it off the limiter slows you down.
|
what if your wheel spinning and struggling for traction at the launch ? bang it into second or wait that split second for some grip ?

Learn to change gear quicker :) |

I thought maybe just hitting the limiter for a fraction of a second might help reduce lag or something? At the very least is should ensure you squeeze all the torques out of the ratio rather than changing say 200 or 300 RPM 'too low'.:) |
Hitting the limiter will always slow you down as you will be off boost :)

I've been told in a powerful turbo car that you might not be able to get onto boost in 1st due to traction so you should get it into 2nd way before you hit the limiter? |

Is it just the launch or throughtout the rev range in 1st?

AVCR Scramble boost ? Reaction times would suggest you will hit the rev limiter anyway LOL

have anti lag fitted if your worried about dropping of boost in second cause you wont then

Ive had my scoob for less than a year and havent launched as I dont think my driving is good enough, but I am wondering if its possible to move off in second at high revs? Would this negate the need for a gear change and would it help launch the car easier?
|
Its not really that hard to launch your car ^
|
Hitting the rev limiter means the car has had its power cut to protect the engine so it will slow you down. Gear changes should be made just as you hit peak power and varies from engine to engine......

I would change gear before you hit the limiter. P1 Drifter, 1st i would try some better tyres and see how you go. R888,s for instance.
