How these should reflect values in game. I really don't know.



Then why do F1 cars have launch control? Those drivers should be the best in the world, so why bother with extra systems that complicate the cars?


F1 cars don't have launch control any more. They have small things to make the launch as easy as possible for the driver, such as a throttle map for the launch, and a clutch map that is constantly refined by automated bite point tests, but the launch is dictated by the driver's right foot, and the two clutches on the wheel.

As for launch control in automation, my opinion is that a car which can't spin its wheels off the line at 4000RPM doesn't need launch control. If it can spin its wheels at 4000RPM then the launch control should work fine at that RPM anyway.
