So every time you pass the start /finish line you have to hit stop/new lap. Is that correct ?
You would think once you did that after the first lap the computer would know where the stop/finish line was and keep recording lap after lap. It sounds archaic.

Very informative!, but does the subsecond clock have the same functions as the regular sport chrono package?

will the car know based on the GPS when did I done a lap or manually I need to press stop when I do a lap? (using the internal GPS), When yes, then how do I set a track for thr car?
I real life example woul be more helpful

Hello! Everyone

I hope to find some knowledgeable answers here, this is the question which gets confusing very quickly.

For a 2018, 718 base cayman with PDK and Sport Chrono package, what is the best procedure to get the fastest 0 - 60 mph launch? The issue comes when not knowing what combinations of buttons to press.

**For all intents and purposes let's considered that you are already depressing the break, floored the gas and the "Launch Control Activated" is already showing on the dashboard. Lets also considered that the launch will be done on a dry, hot surface.

Option 1- Car only on (Sport +) mode..

OR

Option 2- Car in (Sport + mode) and you press the "Sport Response Button" right before, or a second before you launch (releasing the brake).

OR

Option 3- Car is in (Sport +) and you press PSM to (Porsche Stability Management Sport - Limited) and Launch.

OR

Option 4- Car is in (Sport +) and you press PSM to limited (Porsche Stability Management Sport - Limited), in addition you press the "Sport Response Button" right before, or a second before you launch (releasing the brake).

OR

Option 5- Car is in (Sport +) and you press PSM to (Porsche Stability Management OFF - Completely OFF).

OR

Option 6- Car is in (Sport +) and you press PSM to (Porsche Stability Management OFF - Completely OFF), in addition you press the "Sport Response Button" right before, or a second before you launch (releasing the brake).

Sorry for the confusion, but I have search videos, the internet and some people use different things. There is no way to tell which one is the best, due to so many variables and inconsistencies. None of them really know how the software makes the car work. They just launch the car several times and get the fastest launch, NOT really knowing what worked and why it worked. They can't explained why a particular combination worked.

Some say to hit only the Sport Response button since it provides over boost keeping the turbo spooled, others deactivate the PSM and others don't, others don't touch anything but Sport + mode, other say launch but do not touch the Sport Response Button. Othes say to only use Sport PSM to allow some tire slippage, other turn it all OFF saying Launch Control has its own parameters.

I do not know the inner workings of the Porsche software to tell any better AND the manual doesn't go into detail at all nor tell what happens when combining any of these buttons.

The manual only shows a chart in which describes that if you use only the Sport Response button it will do the same as Sport + mode but, the transmission will stay in "Sport", unlike in "Performance" mode as when in (Sport + mode), I would think that Sport + alone would be a better option, since performance mode is higher than sport mode.

Last note, I know the manual definition of: What the car does when the Sport Response Button is pressed, the different Sport modes. I know what each of them do, and what they change in the engine, transmission, etc. The issue is what combination is the best for the fastest launch from 0 to 60 mph.

Thanks a lot to any Porsche enthusiast that can shed some light or inside knowledge of how these features would mix together when combining their individual software instructions.

Thanks and stay safe.

You forgot how to turn the bloody thing off and get back to the instruments like temperature etc.

I am still waiting for the maker of this video to answer my question below, since in the original video he is teaching how to use the Sport Chrono and Sport Response button.
