Next time he'll say to the wife, "Perhaps honey, you may want to go tinkles-boom-boom, before I load the car onto the trailer."

Holding the brake down while flooring it in Sport+ mode seems a tad extreme for loading a car on a trailer.
I froze for an instant, then foot off the gas and the launch control deactivated on its own after what seemed like an eternity.

Gets the job done quickly, though!
I was wondering, as you say you were in Normal (no LC or is it on all the time in a GT3?), do you think you might have caught/trapped the side of the accelerator pedal with the very edge of your left foot? I’ve done it in cars when I’ve been half in and half out of them, not really intending to go far and not seated properly with my left leg more diagonal than it normally is...
