Following our last statement regarding the Throttle, we have read your reaction and feedback, we heard you. Over last week, the KT Racing team has done additional tests and has identified an input problem. So today, we want to give you more insight about both the Throttle and the Automatic Clutch, the solutions the studios are working on and recommended work-around.
The Throttle
First, here are some details about the input issue and how you can work around the issue; the screen below to illustrate where in the options you need to go:

The Automatic Clutch
This system helps in particular to stop the car when the first gear is engaged and the engine is idling, all without having to return to neutral. If the car is stopped and the player is accelerating, this system also decouples the engine from the transmission to allow the revs to rapidly increase to a level where it develops significant torque, while charging the turbo. This improves the performance of the car on starts.
This system, called “launch control”, has no effect once the car is launched, it only reactivates if the car has landed in first gear with a lightly pressed accelerator and the engine speed returned to idle level, all with a car almost stopped, as for example during a frontal impact. These conditions prevent this system, specifically designed for starts, from being activated during the course of a special.
In addition, WRC Generations, like the previous opus WRC 10, incorporates an electronic accelerator system inspired by what is present on WRC cars. It allows both torque and engine speed to be controlled with the throttle control, not just torque. This explains, for example, that an accelerator at mid-stroke does not make it possible to reach the maximum engine speed but an intermediate value.
We understand that this automatic clutch implementation associated with this electronic throttle system may have led to some misunderstandings, but we have implemented it for the sake of realism and should not impact driving performance.
As a reminder, you have 3 possibilities to start:

Finally, though we can't share more details about the fixes until they are tested and approved we can confirm the KT Racing team is working on releasing a new update improving your game experience on PC next week.
Sincerely,
