I'll be the first newb to ask: What is "Flat Foot shifting" and "Launch Control" all about?

Flat foot shifting is also known as WOT shifting. This is where you hold the throttle to the floor and when you depress the clutch the engine will not peg out to redline. Instead it will drop down to a desired/pre-programmed RPM level. This allows your turbine to continue making boost for the next gear instead of the turbine (the slowest part to rev up) slowing down during shifts. You also enter the next gear at full throttle instead of having to graduate off the clutch with the throttle.

Launch control manipulates the engine RPM level in a similar way as flat foot shifting. However, this is for when you are sitting still attempting to launch your car. With the clutch depressed you open up the throttle completely and the car will sustain a desired/pre-programmed RPM level. This allows the user to launch at a consistent RPM and also lets them only focus on the clutch portion of the launch.

Both of these together means that you could potentially not lift your throttle foot the entire time you do a run at the track.
