Is there a clutch friendly way to launch fast? and whats the fastest way to launch regardless of clutch?

Since the boosts been turned up all that seems to happen is lots of wheel spin

dont double clutch it tho!

some people find they get a better and faster launch by slipping the clutch off the line.

(this method is crueller to the clutch though).
double clutching makes for a slow gearchange, as you are engaging and releasing the clutch twice instead of just once.![]()
it's also pretty much unnecessary in any car made after
the model T ford.

Heel and toe can be scary to get the hang of because if you try and blip the throttle too much, sometimes you end up braking harder in a sharp burst as your whole foot has depressed rather than just your heel![]()

If you try and heel-toe and braking softly it doesn't really work as you need firm depression on your toes to control the depression of your heel better
