Awesome video! Love watching how the cars "side step" as they launch - guess thats what happens when you have so much torque to launch with! And the video also has the added of bonus of including McRae in his 6R4 - brilliant!
@brianm00re A number of road cars can run launch control via an Ecutek (or similar) remap, or by changing the ECU for a Simtek, Syvecs, Pectal etc. ECU controlled launch limits the revs when the car is stationary, so you put the clutch in, have the throttle pedal all the way to the floor and the launch control limits the revs to a preset RPM (instead of banging off the limiter) When you lift the clutch and start moving you already have full throttle engaged.
@ET30001 Its an MG metro but not a Group B anymore. They're illegal since 1986, but all they did was change the engine from a Group B to a Smaller engine.
@brianm00re Absolutely. However the original question (from andrewcovie) asked about the use of launch control systems on road cars, not what system the WRC cars use. ECU controlled launch control is about the closest you are going to get on a road car unless you have a lot of money kicking around for a WRC setup!
@M1lesPerHour You can do. Don't know about the Omox, but all every time I read about the Bee*R its normally because its fucked someones engine up. If you want launch control you are better off doing it with a proper ECU and remap then using a cheap ignition cutting device like a Bee*R.

I just love the sound from the Lancer WRC.

@DZoneTV Yeah, me too. For me it had the best sound of all the WRCars of its era.
Mark Higgins the three time British rally champion was here
Colin McRae was here driving the metro 6r4
Gareth machale who used to take three appearances in wrc one in Germany one in japan And the other one spain where he crashed
Metro 6R4 for the win.

@andrewcovie Yes, with the correct ECU and a suitable map(s), road cars can run launch control.
