How to launch?

How would you recomend launching the FD from both a rolling start and a non rolling? I have about 310 HP to the wheels. Thanks

whatever you do, don't launch like I did last night

Here is the video from last night, might not be able to tell but I was blowing the tires away and let out as soon as I punched it in 3rd gear and coasted down the track

I dunno why, but this thread kinda made me laugh. No disrespect, just sounded weird. Are you on stock tires?

a fren of mine got his gear box cracked in half when launching against a UK spec SUPRA.
450 on the wheels....
his skid mark dragged from 0 meter to 75 meter... then his gear box gave up.... and gear oil leaked from 75 meter to 125 meter....

the end.... the car got tow back home.
