How to Perform a Burnout Start?
1 Answers
Understand the engagement point of the clutch. Start by idling the engine, shift into first gear, and slowly release the clutch until the car begins to lurch forward. Quickly release the clutch to this point to build muscle memory. Below is an introduction to performing a burnout start: Control the speed of releasing the clutch: After familiarizing yourself with the clutch engagement point, press the clutch while stationary, shift into first gear, and rev the engine to 3000 RPM or higher. As the RPM rises, quickly release the clutch to about halfway or more, then quickly press it again. Repeat this process—quickly releasing the clutch to about halfway or more and then pressing it again—two or three times. The tires will start spinning, initiating the burnout start. With practice, the number of repetitions can be reduced. Operation precautions: If the engine stalls repeatedly during this process, it means the clutch is being released too high. Try releasing it slightly less. If the wheels move forward but fail to burnout, try pressing the accelerator deeper before quickly releasing the clutch for the first time.
