Quick question - how are you boys leaving the line etc?
Are you holding it on the brakes, reving to 4-5K, then release the brakes or just hitting the pedal when the lights change? Also, are you using the trip or the slush to do the changes

Off the line I left foot hold on the brake, get about 3500 revs and just let the foot slip off the brake and push down on the throttle. Leave it in tip and red line through the gears.
May not be the fastest times but it's repeatable time after time. If your running in a time bracket, repeatability is more important.

I held it with the left foot on the brake, but as I built the revs over about 2,000, what sounded like the PDC started beeping at me so I erred on the side of caution and let the revs drop a little and then just floored it in sport mode with the ESP switched off.
Stll got a respectable time, but think I need more practice...Santa Pod anyone or this that just for chavs?

In my experience the fastest way is to just stamp on the loud peddle, using tip and holding it on the brakes actually gave me slower times at Santa pod
