Launch control

[Toomes1]

Ok, on the starting grid and waiting for the lights to finally go out, like in the real moto gp you would have a launch control method where as you twist that throttle then just bang it into gear, is it the same for gpbikes. I do believe reading something about beta 4 having realistic race starts implemented into the race procedure?

Is it still the case of feathering the clutch with the throttle?

Yes. No launch control yet.

MaX.

This is were real skill comes in..... Bring back the 500GP machines, that will sort the men out from the boys. Hehe.  I like a bit of controversy.

+1 Max!

They have taken a lot of the rider skills away from modern MotoGP, just like they used to in the bad days of F1 when virtually anyone in a good car who could operate a throttle could win a race.

I totally agree with what you say but technology forces us this way + I don't what to look like a nob of the start line tonight so that's why I started this topic.

Don't worry about looking like a noob, Toomes, I'm well off the pace for tonights race; I'm sure we and others will have a nice race between us while the fast guys battle it out in front. Lol
