Indeed. But that is not the issue here.Remember most cars with sequential shifting still have a clutch for launching from a dead stop. You can't just throw them into gear and start moving as if they have a centrifugal clutch. Even F1 cars have a lower "clutch paddle" on their steering wheels for starting off from a stop, and GT and other race cars have standard floor pedals. Also, race clutches are usually set to have a very high engage point in the travel of the pedal, both for use in racing and due to design and engineering. In ACC, most all of these cars are set up this way. When you see videos of novice drivers getting an opportunity to drive a real race car, they often stall them, sometimes repeatedly, when trying to leave the pit box.
I know about stalling and it's not just novice drivers that manage to stall the engine.
But in this case (and I'm using a clutch) it's not possible to launch the car from a stand still in a normal way. The engine obviously doesn't stall but it takes way too long to get moving at a reasonable pace.
