Default Launch Control Mode Question

I want to try launch control. Seen a post explaining different modes (wet,dry sport1,etc) but can’t find it again. What mode keeps the nannies fully engaged. Want them on to get used to it. Thanks in advance.

Launch Control is available in any of the track modes. Track Mode Dry will have all of the nannies on but will have a different throttle response than Track Mode Sport 1 which still has the nannies on but has a less restrictive throttle dampening algorithm. I doubt there is any difference between them since the dampening only affects throttle movement while throttle is held wide open during Launch Control operations.

Not sure what MY you own, but Ride Control Systems (i.e., Traction Control/ Electronic Stability Control, Driver Mode Control, and Competitive Driving Mode) are covered on pp 198-207 of the (2019) Owner's Manual.

Thanks for the help. Traffic was not cooperating but got to play a little bit. First time tires spun and rear got a little loose so left off right away. Next couple of times went better with less spin. Definitely fun. Might need better tires once I bump up the horsepower.
