Launch Control conundrum
#16
Instructor
In sport mode the screen will not say launch mode activated, but it will launch at the lower rpm as mentioned above.

Reviving this in case anybody has learned new information... been playing with launch control in my '23 TTS and so far standard Sport Plus from 4,000rpm seems to give me best results. 5,000 tends to create a bit more wheelspin. Any suggestions out there?

My 21 said “launch control activated” in sport mode. My 23 does not. It still does the 4k rpm hold tho but the launch is weaker in sport mode compared to my 21 in sport mode

It doesnt really matter. Here is a launch on winter tires 27 F
the traction management is other worldly

The one time I did it in sport, I noticed the “launch mode activated” message never showed. I have only done sports+ since.

I have done it with the ‘22 in sport with the response button and sport+. Both go to 5k rpm and show the launch control flag. If you don’t commit to full throttle it will not show the flag. Have done this a few times as well until I figured out what I was doing wrong. Sport has the slight advantage of less drag since the front aero and wing are retracted. This was on an unprepped crowned road with crappy stock tires in sport with the response button.

I wish I could just leave this topic alone lol

For timed runs i always use individual mode. Drivetrain in sport +, pdcc off (to absorb launch load), aero off. It works awesome. No need for full sport + mode

edit: I also wonder if the change to Cup 2 tires in RS sizes would improve traction and times? Have done that since this Dragy run.
