Tried that last night, in S and D, got to about 1500rpm max before lurching away. Have to try in manual tomorrow, probably just me!

To use LC ,put the car in M or S, turn off ESP, put your foot on the brake and press the loud pedal, release the brake and you should slingshot forward.

Make sure you press the brake pedal hard too
