I don't understand at all. I launch from traffic lights when possible to the first shift and it works every single time.
It was a waste of time trying without LC since you'll easily lose a half second from the absence of quick shift 3 (ZF mode used during launches)—so that was futile.
This is not representative of either my 2019's launch behavior nor my 2020.
On a drag strip, it's also traditional to switch lanes to eliminate differences in road surface. Beyond that or the driver's inexperience with the car, I'm lost.
