I've launched my MR and in s-sport manual.

What's the problem?

- I did ASC all off (hold it down)
- Transmission in Manual Super-Sport
- Left foot pinning down the brake pedal (no creep)
- Right foot pinning down the throttle
- Revs rise to around 5-5500rpms
- Release brake keep right foot planted in the gas
- Take off

No issues and I launched twice in a 2 minute span.

you only get the slow down light if you try to perform the launch with ASC on and the tranny in another mode other than s-sport.
