loosing positions during start

Recommended Posts

I am always loosing about 3-4 positions during start. My reaction is good, but after a few moments a couple of cars overtake me.
Do you have any tips?

Are you in career mode and with a low team? I was always getting swamped by others in the McLaren until I did a lot of R&D.
Also assists can hinder your speed as well as over reving at the lights and powering down too soon, make sure you don't spin your wheels, keep a steady straight line as weaving to block others behind will slow you heavily (though weaving is a big no no anyway). Try to get a tow, stay close behind the guy ahead of you to get a slipstream going but remember to brake sooner if you get a good tow, if you brake when they do you'll likely hit them, you'll be going faster than them and need to brake more.

Don't have rich fuel and hotlap ERS. Just end up spinning rears. Put fuel to standard. Up shift early to 2nd and the go to rich. I was loosing places till I started doing this and I can now hold my position
