Default Launch Control Bogs

Tr mode A6 in first gear. Floor it with brake on as supposed to. Revs up and when I get off the brakes it leaps off the line but a spit second later has a bog and again catches and goes. Any ideas. I'm using 93 octane gas and this is the only time it does this.

I assume you tapped the TC button twice to get it in to Competitive Driving mode.

In Competitive Driving Mode you still have TC ON, but it is less invasive.
You also have AH on, but also less invasive.

What must have happened is it leaped out hard, started to spin, and TC intervened.

I might be wrong, but in Competitive Driving Mode I think TC is more invasive than just tapping the button once to turn TC off, but then you have more invasive AH.

Most of the fastest times at the strip were in TR mode just tapping the TC button once.
