Launch control with Porsche 911
A while ago, I was asked "Have you ever controlled the launch with Porsche?", And since that day I have been thinking "I want to start using the launch control with Porsche !!!".

Sports chrono required for Porsche launch control
However, Porsche has a launch control on a car with a sports chrono package, and my bare Carrera does not have a sports chrono ... Then, in order for me to try launch control , There is only GT3, which is Porsche 911 with sports chrono.
If you don't know how great the launch control will be in GT3, with that tremendous power, what to do if it becomes a movement that I can not control, I suddenly tried launch control on the general road I can't even try it (Oh, of course, even people who can control the car properly are not doing it on the general road ^ ^).
"If there is a chance someday, I will definitely launch control with Porsche GT3 somewhere !!"
Secretly, no ..., in fact, I've been waiting for a long time to see if Melamella and that chance would come soon (laughs).
so! !! I came, I came ^^
After all, I realized that it is important to "wish" in order to get a chance. Of course, not everything will come true just by "wishing", but if you don't, first of all, nothing will come true.
This time as well, about a month after I started thinking "I want to launch control", I got the chance.
High, the place is Fuji Speedway P15. that's right. Exactly the other dayWhen I participated in the McLaren Premium Test Drive sponsored by McLaren Tokyois.
After driving in McLaren, I started using the launch control with the Porsche 911 GT3 using the straight in the P15 parking lot! !! It's too moving ~~~~.
* We are doing this with the permission to launch and control the launch using P15 properly in advance.
Now, let's take a look at the launch control with GT3. The method is as I wrote last time:
- Switch to sports mode
- Hold the brake firmly with your left foot
- Step on the accelerator with your right foot
- Porsche 911 will be in launch mode, so if you release the brake, it will be dogon as it is! And start
And you can do it.
So I would like to try it. First of all ... Turn on the sports mode switch, step on the brake firmly with your left foot, fully open the accelerator with your right foot, and step on with a solid step.
When I started to step on the accelerator, it reached about 6,000 rpm at once, and the instrument on the right side of the center changed from the normal display ... ↓
Oh, it came out, it came out! There is a change in the instrument on the right side of the center! ↓
do you understand? At the yellow arrow. Something is coming out, right? ↓
This is! !! !! It came out! !! !!
Yes, when you step on the accelerator, the message "! Launch control is effective" that appears immediately ↓
When I upload it, this is it ↓ The moment I see this display, "Kita, Kita, Kita ~ !!" and the excitement max (laughs).
However, the sound at this time is also a terrible sound that GT3 says "You can start anytime". I'm excited.
so. If you look at these pictures, it may seem like a slow time, but it's been a moment since you stepped on the accelerator.
The moment you see the words "Launch control is effective", take your left foot off the brakes and fully open the accelerator with a solid step! !!
At the moment of starting, the warning light that Porsche Stability Management (PSM) was turned off was turned on for a moment (although it went out soon after that). * I did not turn off PSM by myself.
Maybe it was the one that told me "the car is slipping" for a moment. It turned on and off for just under a second.
The first acceleration is "Oh", and you feel the power of pushing your body to the seat.
However, I was imagining that I would feel a more terrifying G, so it wasn't so intense at all, and I felt like I could start enjoying it rather than fear.
At a speed of over 50 km / h, it will go up to about 8,000 rpm. ↓ Really, here is a time axis of only 1 second or something like that.
After that, while depressing the accelerator, accelerate a short straight at a stretch.
This straight is the same place where the professional driver took up to 130 km with the McLaren 570S before this, but since the starting point was different from the time of that McLaren this time, it is a short distance by one car. Nevertheless, with the launch control start of GT3, the acceleration reached 128 km.
In this short distance, the acceleration so far is nothing but a good feeling! !! Already, this, launch control ... becomes a habit (laughs).
It was so much fun that I wanted to do it forever if I could do it as many times as I wanted. GT3 is really great.
Here, first of all, the video from the inside of the car when launch control is done, it is only 3 seconds (laugh) ↓.
I mustThe key chain attached to the car key is stored in placeHowever, the moment you start, you can see that the key chain has fallen in a blink of an eye. There was such a shock.
After accelerating with max power by launch control at this short distance, it brakes at a stretch and turns, but it is already said that "from this acceleration, the car will stop (decelerate) as a matter of course". You can also experience the wonderfulness of PCCB's essence.
"No matter how fast the car is pushed in, if you step on the brakes, it will definitely stop."
Porsche that stops normally even from tremendous acceleration so that it seems to be misunderstood.
The combination of Porsche GT3 and PCCB is a Porsche with this performance that allows the driver to run without fear, really, really, with tremendous performance! I realized it again, and the excitement did not stop ^ ^
This video is from when I ran straight through the launch control start in GT3. You may not understand it very well, but you can actually reach 128km at a stretch with this short distance that you can see, so it feels like you actually feel a lot of acceleration.
This really means "excitement doesn't stop". After this launch control, until I came back to Tokyo, I kept looking back on the GT3's roaring sound and the feeling of acceleration in my head while driving, and I was delusional. For pickling (laughs).
When I noticed, I didn't even know how I drove home, and I was at home in a blink of an eye.
That pleasure that I can never forget ... In this way, people may be increasingly seeking "stronger stimuli." Abunai, Abunai!
No, but really.
If you have a car with a Porsche & Sports Chrono package, if you are still inexperienced, I would like you to find a chance somewhere safe and start using this launch control.
You can feel and feel the awesomeness of Porsche more, and I think that you can not really forget this pleasure.
Ah ~~~, as I expected, the launch control at Porsche 911 was the best! !! !! I love 911! !! !! !! !!
