blogentry-133713-0-89607200-1441588812_thumb.pngAre Launch Control systems useful in real life? Auto Express intends to show us how much time you will lose trying to set up the launch control...

 

Using a BMW M4, a Mercedes-AMG C63 S, a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS and a very humble little Volkswagen Polo BlueMotion (which does not have any launch control system) as the candidates to prove their point, we have a video from them showing how laborious it is to go through the steps in each car to engage Launch Control.

 

So who will win the drag race? Watch to find out!

Tink the whole point of the test was to compare the time taken to set up the launch controls, not the acceleration, u can compare brochures for that

Yup, I think this is the point of this video.

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    The fun in collecting postcards without (really ever) sending them

    I believe I may not be alone when I say that I’m quite the avid collector of postcards, but rarely ever send them out to family or friends. To some, this might seem counterintuitive, even wasteful. But for me, these miniature works of art serve a different purpose. They're windows into distant lands; time capsules of bygone eras; and conversation starters par excellence. In fact, in a city as fast-paced as Singapore, where our lives often revolve around our vehicles and the next destination

    The Joys of Morning Walks

    Like most other folks stuck in the rut of smartphone-hyper-use, I recently caught myself doing the same each morning: Waking up to immediately reach for my phone. Reflecting on the first quarter of the year, however – and realising that I’ve been subconsciously plunged into an extended bout of languidness – brought me to the realisation: Perhaps it's time to embrace a different routine. One that started with stepping outside into the crisp morning air, and feeling the gentle warmth of
