If the track is reasonably prepped you shouldn't have to do anything with tire pressures since you're awd. Dynamic+S and let the computer do the work. Left foot brake, right foot throttle to the floor, release brake when the last amber comes on (before the green light goes on).

foot.
Select either Drive (D) or Sport (S).
Using the right foot, lightly press the
accelerator pedal until the Message centre
displays DYNAMIC LAUNCH READY.
5. Release the brake pedal, then quickly press
the accelerator pedal to the kickdown
position. The Message centre will display
DYNAMIC LAUNCH ACTIVE.
Note: Any manual gear selection, from the gear
selector or steering wheel gearshift paddles,
will override the Dynamic launch operation.
Dynamic launch will remain available for further
use after a short period of time.
Note: Dynamic launch will not be active when
the accelerator pedal is released from a high
demand position.
Prolonged application of the brake pedal will
deactivate Dynamic launch.
Note: Dynamic launch is not fitted to all
derivatives.

I believe my 2018 R also has a launch mode that involves holding the break and pressing the gas until a certain RPM. I read that somewhere and I thought it was in the manual. I’ll have to check.

You need to be wary of what the Owner Manual / Handbook says as it is generic across all variants of that model year so it included everything that could possibly be on any model.

Yep, it’s in the manual under DYNAMIC LAUNCH. It does state that “The dynamic launch system is dependent on the specification of the vehicle”. Not a very clear manual. Lesson learned.

+1. There's no need on the V8, as it has plenty of torque from idle to spin the tires. The V6, however, needs all the help it can get.
