I get no indicator and the power seems to override the brakes as it's slipping and not holding the car at a standstill.

Any suggestions?
A few items to make sure of:
  • Engine in sport+
  • Transmission in sport
  • TCS fully shutoff
  • Engine is sufficiently to temp
  • Hold brake to the floor
  • Hold throttle to the floor

This should engage and not try to override the brakes. If all of that doesn't work, then not sure what's happening.
