Launch Control Problem

Am I doing something wrong?

I tried this for the first time after my 1200 mile service. I did everything according to the instructions - when the chequered flag appeared I floored the throttle and the rev's limited at around 3000 (so far so good). I then let go of the shifter and... nothing! The revs dropped with the throttle still floored and nothing happened. The car wouldn't move until I put it back into full auto and then everything was fine.

I tried three further times and the same happened.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Make sure the gas pedal is to the floor and keep it down don't release it at all

I've looked around this forum for launch control issues when I first got my car also... After reading the manual I haven't had any issues since
