Just make sure the engine oil (not the coolant) is fully warm before trying it.

Pretty sure the procedure is in the manual. I normally put driver mode/‘box in race/sport and turn off traction, depress brake hard, then the accelerator before releasing the brake. Bosh!

Are you sure you had traction fully off? Needs a long press till you hear a beep to be fully off. Stand on the brakes, full throttle (revs to circa 4K) and you're off. Have only tried it once, but it definitely revved higher than 2.5 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Race mode, traction fully off (hold down for the bleep), foot planted as hard as you can on the brake.

Although it seems to vary depending on when your car was built, in the handbook for my car it says hold revs at 3,200, haven't read anywhere that says maximum revs are recommended and I would suspect put a lot of strain on various components?
