Race Start Mode

How do you race start the SLS guys? Any help on this area? I've tried searching youtube for step by step but no use. I see some members from Qatar posting videos of the race start but not the process of how to get it going. Appreciate the help. Thanks.

Hit the traction button so that it's in sport. Oil and coolant temps need to be up. Steering wheels straight. Put the tranny setting knob to RS. Tap the shift up paddle to confirm, then gas/brake go!

1- Shift the transmission to "D" drive
1- Fully press your brake
3- Adjust the steering wheel to a straight solid position
4- turn ESP-sport mode
5- Turn the transmission mode to "RS"
6- a message will pop at your screen to paddle up your shifter for the race start function...DO it
7- Itll then tell you to press your gas peddle, do that while you are fully pressing your brakes (step #2)
8- RPM will hit around 3000RPm and then just release the brakes and it will launch

If you are doing this on an SLS, make sure you hold the steering wheel straight and very hard. I also advice if it is the first time you try it in a wide area, because it may take you sideways if not done properly.

Good luck and have fun
