Default Burn outs

Tried the burn out mode and just sat there?

Put in Track mode
Turned off TC and ESC
Had the car in Drive
Held down brake
Held both paddles down
Revved it up
Released paddles and got nothing?
Just sat there?

This may be a myth. It is hard to do a burn out in this car. It is meant to hook and go!

I don't see releasing the brakes in there. I don't think the car will go without releasing the brakes.

sorry ..... released the brake and car keeps revving and no go?

I just tried it a couple of times because I didn't want to break anything and the only reason I even tried the burnout was to try and heat the tires to improve my dismal 0-60 launch? (3.8)

There are lots of burnouts and doughnuts on Instagram and youtube. So it should be possible?

Too bad no one here seems to have officially tried it yet and able to help out. Maybe it would be a good idea to ask one of these guys from IG and youtube who has done it instead?

I have heard it was all of the above, except, 1st "Paddles Shifters" 2nd "Brakes" 3rd "Gas" then let go of the paddle shifters (supposedly not a huge burnout)

I will be trying with my C8, hopefully this week. I saw this on youtube
