Brake all the way, accelerator all the way, wait for a good second, AND OMG! Maybe put PSM in sport too.
Every time i do a launch control, I can't stop laughing after. You hear people talk about the acceleration, but when you actually experience it, :0

The key thing to note is that while the GT3RS corners much faster, a good chunk of this ability is due to Cup Sport tires vs P Zero.

If you put the TTS on Cup Sports it would crush RS lap times.

The fact they are dead even on most tracks with the TTS huge tire disadvantage is quite amazing and is testment to how the TTS has amazing exit speed from corners thanks to torque vectoring all wheel drive.

Imagine if you dressed it down like the GT3 and added tires as stealthpilot says

I get to drive both, and the TTS is definitely quicker. And more comfortable. But less sense of occasion. The TTS is a fantastic car!

you make a very good point!

all wheel drive and huge power pretty much guarantees you a lead... Audi learned this in the 80s with group b and in the 90s when they came to IMSA with Stuck, Haywood and Rohrl... they cleaned up... if you know how to drive corners in 4wd it'll make you look like a hero every time... Stuck said it took him several months to get his brain around staying on the power and accelerating in the corner, but when it clicked, he became unbeatable... "just don't let go of the pedal" he used to say after it sounds straight forward, but it's a subtle art, and depending on if you have an old school mechanical, electro mechanical, or purely digital 4wd system, the car "takes a set" very differently as the front diffs engage, even for similar weights and suspension settings... half the fun is getting the feeling for the instrument

found it, Stuck kept left foot braking while he kept throttle pedal down and boost high, then he would come off the brake and shoot forward

you can't pit physics against marketing
