Race Start not possible see owners manual.

I have a 2016 GT-S with 5700 miles on her. I am unable to active Race Start mode, the car responds with 'Race Start not possible see owners manual.' The car is good and warmed up for 30 minutes. The temps look good on the AMG menu, the car is in race mode, the steering wheel is straight. I come to a complete stop with my foot on the brake and pull both paddles and immediately get 'Race Start not possible see owners manual.' The only thing I can think of is that there is some additional condition not listed in the owners manual like too low outside air temperature or possibly wet roads? Its been pretty cold here, in the 40's. Any thoughts?

Ha ha yeah I just tried that and it worked! I guess there are a few different levels of brake application the ECU can monitor. I will get this thing figured out yet. Thanks!
