There really isn't, the faster you launch, the more you use up the clutch. The fastest way that I know of thats really easy on the clutch is to just launch normally, go about 1/2 throttle until the rpms get above 3500 then full throttle to just below red line.

Fastest launch? Hold the rpms at 6500, let the clutch out, but don't dump the clutch. At the same time, go to full throttle and hold the pedal to the floor. Now modulate the clutch keep the rpms around 6500 without losing traction and without bogging the car or over-revving. Takes a very practiced touch.
