F-Type R Start in 1st Gear
Hi Folks,
I am new to the forum and just bought a 2018 F-Type R. I love the way it drives, sounds and feel. Can't wait to put in the break-in miles to track it.
Even in Dynamic Sport mode it wants to start in 2nd gear. I remember my 2012 XJL did the same thing, which was not a big deal on that car, but I am hoping there is a way to make it start in 1st gear on the F-Type. I did a quick search on the forum and couldn't fine info on this subject. Any help is appreciated.

But watch out if you are turning a corner. You will want to up-shift before the wheel straightens. 
This Topic has some discussion. (But don't pay attention to @Unhingd as he likes to point out the advantages of his archaic manual trans.)
