Oh yeah that was a cool car. K24/18g, Iforged monoblocks, Bilstein right?

I am not the best at launching a car, but usually you want to rev it up to about 4000 rpm and then slip the clutch out. I would definitely seek other opinion though! Practice, practice, practice!

"soft launch" as they say. Short 1st gear makes good launches a challenging skill. I say get to 2nd and 3rd as fast a you can without hitting the rev limiter and pass all competition in higher gears.

Like Dan says, with those turbos, you can't just dump the clutch and expect it to hook up unless you've got some really soft tires. Instead of dropping the clutch really hard... it's more like letting it slip as you get into the gas... you will know when it hooks up right bc the car will launch really hard and you will be in boost almost immediately.
