You rev the motor to 3000-3500rpm and slowly let the clutch out. Once you understand how to do it, you will be able to figure out how much gas to give it and how fast to let the clutch out.
It's like your at a stop light and you don't expect to race the guy next to you but he wants to race and you have to give it gas. You won't rev the motor up and dump the clutch but you will slip the clutch without even knowing that is what slipping the clutch is.

Glad I could help lol
Now when you're at the track you will have the rpms up around 3000-3500 when you start to slip the clutch.
Edit: When you are slipping the clutch with the rpms at 3000-3500, whatever they may be when launching, you are also giving it more gas while letting the clutch out.

Dumping the clutch isn't any better. Clutch can still unintentional slip and glaze the disc face. If he wants to run better times he is going to have to slip the clutch. Part of racing, it's going to cost and stuff will break.

i totally agree, i was kinda going in the direction of upgrading the clutch though lol.
edit.. now that i think about it, that carprob starts making boost at like 3000 so it should wear as much as i thought..dohh
