I've done about 3,000 (wonderful) miles in mine now so I thought I'd have a go with this launch control.

Did exactly as above, gear stick over to sport, two presses to get to Sport+, foot hard on brake and then floor the accelator...no flag, just what feels like a fully powered engine trying to smash the transmission to pieces!

I've watched both the console display and HUD, definitely no flag.

Engine is at normal temperature and I never try it twice in a row, a good half hour between tries.

I don't want to keep trying it if there's some reason it won't activate, I could be just damaging the car.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
