Consistently launching your car perfectly every time can be a difficult skill to master. The hard part is that you can break a lot of expensive parts while you are learning the sill, so the learning process can get very expensive and unaffordable.

Launching too hard can break parts or spin the tires, launching too soft will ruin your race.

Using a hydraulic valve between the clutch pedal and the slave cylinder on the transmission can control the speed that the clutch releases, and do it at the same speed every time, regardless of how your foot comes off the clutch pedal.

There is a mechanical version that slows the clutch pedal release in every gear change, or an electronic model that can be configured to only slow the clutch release on the launch, and then allow normal clutch operation in the following gear changes on your pass.

Using a clutch release valve can take the inconsistency out of your launch, which will give you more confidence to win races.
