This has happened many times for everyone, don't listen to these guys mate it is quite normal the first few times you launch a set of tyres.

What happens is the tyres are gripping the road but the residual soap in the tyre bead makes the rims spin inside the tyres. By the time you got 3rd the soap had burnt off and as you put the clutch in the rims grabbed the bead again and off you went.

Most of the guys in here like to take the piss a bit and it's hard to tell what's the truth.
