The trick is avoiding wheel hop AND avoiding too much bog. I find that launching with a slight amount of wheelslip to where the car is just about to bog and then going WOT gets the fastest 1st and 2nd gear.

The surface also plays a big factor of course.

Make sure your tires are warm. Try holding your revs around 2,800RPM and let the clutch out fast without dropping it (to not shock the tires). As you are letting the clutch out feed some throttle in. By the time you are 100% engaged you should be 100% throttle.

This whole process only takes about 3/4 of a second. The results should be a clean launch with slight wheelspin and NO wheelhop.
