Meh, probably, but it's still not much... launch on dirt/gravel isn't too hard on the gearbox/clutch assuming that car's got enough oomph to spin the tires.
But I'd still want a bit of a stiffer/stronger clutch if I were racing. The stock clutches are okay for street driving and the occasional track day/autocross, but why risk it as a failure point on a rally car? I'd get something a little more heavy-duty. Plus a stiffer clutch makes the car faster on up-shifts and wears less 'cause it slips less.
