So what is Launch Control?
Typically, launch control is used in race cars to help take off fast and efficiently at the start of a race. You might see this commonly used in Rally cars at the beginning of each stage. Many Launch Control is controlled by the computers ECU to a set RPM point and then puts load on the engine. This causes the car to build boost pressure at a stand still to reduce the lag of a normal launch. The 996 Turbo Launch Control builds 0.2Bar or 3psi of boost. This feature eliminates the possibility of dropping the clutch at to high of an rpm or over revving the car at launch. Because there is such a small threshold of action to smoothly deliver acceleration from a stand still on high horsepower cars, launch control has been created.

*Why the black smoke? We messed up… We loaded a 93octane file instead of 91octane file. That is the ECU compensating. Correct file has been loaded and new videos to come at www.youtube.com/vividracing
