Apologies Raul and Gianluca, I thought the whole pack had passed me, I forgot you two were further back. Oh, no worries mr. Fitch, it just wasnt ment to be I managed to crash on the very start behind the pace car, upon launching.. I still can not figure out what kind of stupidity I did.. the car just started to go into the wall. Two laps down, my motivation was quite low, when I saw you car flying, I was sure if I slow down that Ill colide with you, so, only option was to remain at current speed and pass under your acrobatic figures.. well, it turned out I joined you.. meh, I hope Ill be a lesser idiot in the race..

I still see people having difficulties at the start. If you have a clutch pedal in your pedal set, it is quite easy. Use autoclutch (F11) and press it down, get the revs up and then release the clutch only like 2 cms and hold it there. Pump all the time the throttle up and down to get moving, but keep the clutch there until you are at speed.

Also, use the banking to your advantage. Turn the car and let it roll down the banking.
