Basically you have to get used to how fast your car can rev from idle to max rpm, you want to wait until the last moments of the countdown then give full gas so it hits a high rpm but you don't want it to bounce off the rev limiter. Every car is different as some rev up fast some very slow ie: low horsepower cars like front wheel drives. Try that and watch to see what rpms it is around when the car engages the run, thats what an rpm launch is.

Are we allowed to do this? Or is this considered a cheat?

I'm sure it is allowed, it's more or less preferred.

Yes, its allowed for leaderboard times. It's also known as a "timed launch". You usually want to launch at the rpm where the torque peak is or thereabouts....there are a few exceptions though.
 
I always get a good laugh online when people try and rev launch! It's possible tho, just gotta be quick..

What are some of them? What makes them exceptions to this rule?

Yep, I had a first hand demonstration with Enzo's, (can't remember who showed me but he's well known) we launched equally with a normal full throttle launch, but doing his rpm thing he'd alway pull half a car ahead by third gear.

You could use a chill pill man, like really causing chaos for attention? Why not join some comps on here or meet up for some online racing so people would see if your'e truly a creditable tuner? :dunce: 💡 :dopey:

I asked two question for the sake of the community mate.:dunce:
 
I can't think of them right now, but I think the cuda was one of them, but maybe it was my crappy tune, launching at the max torque rpm caused a bog for me.
