I’ve noticed that i am the only person ever making vroom vroom noises and i am wondering if this is a bug? On delayed starts I’ll hear the AI just red lining it but in MP races it’s like everyone is driving an EV.

Sometimes i do it and sometimes not.
It should be in multiplayer too. 100% needed to see everyone revving preparing for turn 1…

So is the consensus that this is indeed a bug?
I’ll make the post if so unless someone beats me to it.
Edit:
Made the post, if you voted yes and never hear other players revving at the start feel free to vote.

Irrelevant to the question I guess but I always try for full rpm just before redline at the start. It seems to give the best start.
But no, I personally do not make a vroom vroom sound as I am doing this.

I dont use tcs so if i did that id just rip tires at every start. Depending on car ill usually hold 1-1.5k under redline with my goal to have a very small bit of smoke, i usually rocket past ppl on most starts.

I don’t have any trouble getting past people on the starts. My problem is staying past them in the racing parts. 
Yes especially if you try in qualifying and then have to contend with ppl that would rather make 18 passes every race haha. Half of them finish with 5+ seconds of penalties due to have to make so many passes against much worse and slower drivers in like eight minutes haha
I rev at the start of races but the launches aren’t realistic. Some cars you can launch revving past the redline and others you should be launching at 4 or 5000 rpm in order to prevent burning rubber at the line.
Not to mention the cars (a couple of the classic LMP/GTP cars spring to mind) where if you launch at full revs and the car just goes literally nowhere, as if the clutch slips instead of the wheels (even when using manual w/out clutch controls). No wheel spin, no smoke, nothing. If you back off during the pre-start ever so slightly (ie still revving to the limiter but at say ~80% throttle) you launch fine.

I’ve experienced that too sometimes. I mean isn’t the peak hp/torque well below redline? There’sa reason most launch controls have you sit the rpms well below redline. Idk maybe its different when not using launch control.
I know most of the crazy EV hyper/mega cars you can “redline” the start just fine but i feel that’s just because they have insane torque curves.
I don’t actually know anything about cars for the record haha.
Absolutely well below redline. Half of the redline is a good spot if you don’t know anything about where to launch. Redline in my IRL car is 8600 but I don’t launch anymore near that. At 4500 I still have to feather the gas to prevent burning through 1st gear. So I set my launch control to bounce off 3200, it’s the sweet spot where I get minimal slippage and when I feel the grip catch, I can floor it.
“If you’re spinning (your wheels), you ain’t winning.”
Peak torque is usually well below redline but peak power is often right up at the top, plus a lot of cars launch better with a small amount of wheel-spin which needs the higher revs (otherwise it just bogs down). With a controller it can be easier to just mash the throttle rather than modulate it just right too, which can help with consistency (in FMP I’m not trying to absolutely ace the start rather just avoid carnage, but I tend to have tunes with good launch setups so it’s the ~2-5 second phase where I get the biggest advantage)
Done a little bit of research and general consensus seems to be torn between “the game is simulating clutch slippage” (even though it only happens on a small handful of cars) and “it’s a bug”.
I hit my revs at 1, this makes my revs hit the limiter right at go. Presonally i find this has the best sound to it for most engines
What car allows you to customize your launch control? Is that common these days?
Not common unless you’re buying typically high end cars. Mine is through a computer tuning program, KPRO. Setting launch control is just one of many things inside that program. Costs 1000 bucks but that was 15 years ago. Might be a little cheaper now but it’s well worth it. You can turn on and turn off sensors, raise and lower the redline. You can tune for fuel economy or do what I did it and basically leave it in race mode indefinitely. If you’re having fun driving the car, you aren’t really worried about saving gas.

Ate you using TCS? if so it’s causing a stall with M/C. Either remove MC or turn off TCS.
Me.
Well i raced you once and you didn’t have any penalties. I more mean people that drive worse then me but use tunes made by people at your level, with the best cars that can’t really pass cleanly 10 times in a race to save their lives.

Neither. Controller, normal steering, no ABS, no TCS/STM, no assists, manual with no clutch.
